DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PRODUTOS: CARAÍBA GENÉTICA

Abstract

Agricultural productivity is influenced by genetic and environmental factors and the interaction between genotype and environment. Soybean, an annual plant of the Fabaceae family, has characteristics growth, development, and phenology. In front of growing demands, the qualification of rural workers, especially for the new generation with higher education, becomes crucial. The mandatory internship, with a minimum of 360 hours, is essential for students of Agronomy, according to the 2018 curriculum matrix of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Goiás Technology - Rio Verde Campus. Offered by several institutions, both public and the internship contributes significantly to the development of skills and competencies, preparing students for the job market.The internship conducted in the Department Product Development Department of Caraíba Genetics focused on the evaluation of the performance of cultivars in different regions, ranging from seedling emergence to the Pest and disease monitoring. Activities such as booth surveying, monitoring of pests and diseases, plant deaths from soil diseases, and crop damage from lodging of plants were highlighted.. Crop diversification was emphasized as an effective strategy to optimize soybean production. The internship provided an in-depth understanding of the relevance of the Agronomist in the monitoring of the crop cycle. This experience is fundamental for professional and personal growth, allowing the practical application of knowledge acquired in the classroom.
