RELATO DE ESTÁGIO: GERAÇÃO DE DEMANDA NEOGEN SEMENTES NO SUDOESTE GOIANO E NORTE DO MS SAFRA 24/25

Abstract

The importance of the agronomist in the Brazilian soybean market grows alongside the need to increase efficiency and yield per hectare worked. In this scenario, the professional can apply the knowledge acquired during their degree for collective benefit, directly assisting both producers and companies. Within this context, soybean cultivation has gained prominence, driven by research and technological innovations, as it is a crop of great economic appeal and one of the pillars of Brazil's financial market.

Thus, seeds stand out as one of the main inputs, and their genetic characteristics improve crop establishment and ensure productivity, varying depending on the region. This report describes the internship experience at GDM Seeds under the Neogen brand, focusing on generating demand for soybean seeds.

During the internship, academic knowledge was applied, and essential technical skills for working in the agricultural sector were acquired. At the beginning of the internship, I participated in team integration, including safety regulations, the distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE), and training sessions.

In the first few days, I was responsible for securing areas for testing Neogen cultivars, ensuring good soil conditions and locations for comparisons with materials already used by producers. I monitored the crop cycle, conducted evaluations, promoted the brand, and handled social media marketing.

I also participated in training sessions at seed companies and assisted in organizing events and providing technical support regarding cultivar positioning. The internship ended in December, leaving the harvest and the presentation of results at field days in January and February. The experience demonstrated the importance of academic training combined with practical fieldwork, highlighting the role of the agronomist in optimizing agricultural processes
