RELATO DE ESTÁGIO NA EMPRESA AGROTÉCNICA BURITI: EXPERIÊNCIA NO TRATAMENTO DE SEMENTES E AVALIAÇÕES AGRONÔMICAS

Abstract

Agriculture has undergone several transformations throughout history, evolving from rudimentary practices to a highly technological sector. In Brazil, the introduction of agricultural production by colonizers boosted agrarian development, resulting in significant changes over the centuries. With modernization, soybean cultivation gained prominence, driven by research and technological innovations, such as seed treatment, which aims to improve crop establishment and ensure greater productivity. This paper reports the experience of the supervised curricular internship carried out at Agrotécnica Buriti, focusing on on-farm soybean seed treatment. During the internship, academic knowledge was applied and essential technical skills were acquired for working in the agricultural sector. Initial training covered the processes and products used, such as fungicides, insecticides, inoculants, and biostimulants. The main activity developed was the operation of the Trevisan seed treatment machine, ensuring the correct application of the products. The internship allowed the consolidation of the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate course, in addition to the development of skills such as communication with producers, adaptability, and decision-making. Finally, the experience was essential for professional growth, culminating in the company's position as a Technical Commercial Assistant. The internship demonstrated the importance of academic training combined with practical experience in the field, highlighting the role of the agronomist in optimizing agricultural processes.
