RELATÓRIO DE ESTÁGIO: DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PRODUTOS NA CULTURA DO MILHO

Abstract

Corn is one of the most cultivated and consumed cereals in the world, standing out for its characteristics and wide application. Its economic and nutritional importance is reflected in its diverse uses, ranging from human and animal food to industry, where it is used as a raw material for the manufacture of biofuels, starches, oils and other derived products. This internship report presents the experience in the development of products in corn cultivation, addressing products and their production stages. The internship was carried out at GDM, headquartered in Rio Verde, Goiás, where the research station is located. The main focus was corn cultivation, with activities ranging from planting to harvest. Continuous evaluations were carried out throughout the crop cycle, and, at the end, all materials were collected and their data processed. The objective was to understand the process from cultivation to harvest, analyzing performance in relation to different environments, planting data and investment levels. The experience provided theoretical and practical knowledge about corn cultivation and the importance of product development in the advancement and positioning of new hybrids for the market, contributing to the professional training of the agronomic engineer.
