A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ASSISTÊNCIA TÉCNICA NA REVENDA DE INSUMOS: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

Abstract

Technical assistance is of paramount importance to ensure productive efficiency and crop sustainability, enabling the appropriate use of inputs, the adoption of good agricultural practices, and pest and disease control. This paper aimed to report the importance of technical assistance in the resale of inputs to rural producers in the Central-West, Southwest, and Southern regions of Goiás during the 2024/25 harvest and the beginning of the 25 second harvest, with an emphasis on the soybean harvest. To this end, an Experience Report was presented during the internship at Núcleo Agrícola. The methodology included regular field visits to monitor plant development, monitor and assess crop health, and identify problems such as nutritional deficiencies and the emergence of pests and diseases. Chemical products such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides were also applied, always taking into account technical recommendations tailored to the plants' needs. The results showed that technical assistance contributed significantly to an increase in soybean crop productivity, resulting in more efficient and higher-quality production. The rational application of chemicals and proper plant management resulted in healthy crop development, while pest and disease control at the right time and dose prevented significant losses. Technical assistance is important for contributing to the success of agriculture in the region, promoting more sustainable, competitive, and efficient agricultural practices, as well as strengthening the local economy.
