PRÁTICAS DE SUPERVISÃO TÉCNICA NA PRODUÇÃO DE SEMENTE DE SORGO, NA EMPRESA NUFARM SEEDS BRASIL

Abstract

During their academic training, it is essential that students participate in projects that expand their theoretical knowledge. It is during extracurricular training that these individuals are exposed to the practical application of their knowledge, which plays a crucial role in preparing excellent professionals. In this context, companies like Nufarm Seeds Brasil offer valuable opportunities for enriching experiences and knowledge. On January 6, 2025, I had the privilege of beginning my mandatory internship. During this period, I observed the entire sorghum seed production process, from seed treatment of the parents to the separation of the lots for distribution to the producer. I performed all the processes of adjusting the seeder, which was used to establish the seed fields, adjusting seed distribution, and adjusting fertilizer distribution. After this process, I monitored the sorghum crop. I oversaw activities such as pest and disease assessment, spray preparation, manual weed removal, and roguing (a process used to remove unwanted plants).
