Diagnostico da utilização de sementes de soja na região de Mormaço-RS

Abstract

Among the main world soy producers, Brazil is the country with the biggest potential to increase the current production, either in productivity as in growing area. To achieve this productivity it’s necessary that the producer use a quality seed. The goal of this work is to make an analysis of the using rate of seeds in the region of the city of Mormaço-RS, through a poll applied to 23 associates who negotiate with the company. The data shows that the agriculture of the region is composed by small producers with an area of 72 ha. and that many of the producers don’t aknowledge the costs of seeds, due to this it’s noticed that the seeds' using rate is low. Professional trainings, committed seeders with the quality and reviews on the seeds’ law with likely changes to discourage the use of non-certified seeds are important keys to be studied.
