Percepção sobre o estágio supervisionado em manejo integrado de pragas do coqueiro: contribuições para o controle do ácaro-da-necrose-do-coqueiro

Abstract

The internship was developed between July 2015 and December 2015, in Nufarm S / A, which is located in Mossoró-RN, far about 250 km from Fortaleza-CE. The purpose of this internship was to follow up field activities necessary for the development of products and the search for solutions to pest control. The main activities developed during the intership were conducting field tests within the producing farms, working with several crops, especially with the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L), with emphasis on control of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis. As expected, the coconut mite was the main phytosanitary problem found over coconut plants. The internship allowed the participation and monitoring the schedule of pesticide applications and assessments of field experiments. The most important events were the intensive learning during the internship period, the opportunity to participate in field production activities and improve the ability to work together in a company. During this internship it was possible to put into practice the theoretical knowledge acquired during my academic life as well as having the opportunity to present my work for a company.
