Abstract

The Supervised Curricular Internship is fundamental in academic training, since it is a period in which the student unites his theoretical and practical knowledge of his professional training. The agronomy engineer plays a very important role in the work in areas such as Public Health, which can act in the quality of the food, going from planting planning to the supervision of products marketed in the market, when assessing the residues of agrotoxics. This course completion paper contains the description of the activities carried out in the Agency for the Defense and Agricultural Surveillance of the State of Pernambuco (ADAGRO), in the city of Recife, Pernambuco. The objective of the internship was to monitor, develop and carry out activities and actions, from the area of plant inspection and defense, related to the use of agrotoxics and quarantine diseases. The activities carried out, together with the agricultural and livestock inspectors, consisted in the inspection area: in collections of organic and conventional products (fairs, supermarkets and Ceasa) for analyzes of pesticide residues; going to the properties with positive products in high doses, use not registered for the crop or prohibited products and presence of agrotoxics in the organic products; for defense area were made surveys in important areas of entry of quarantine diseases in Recife (Porto Suape, Porto Recife and airport), going to the properties of citrus and grapes for verification and detection of diseases not yet present in the state; and office work (spreadsheets, reports and articles). The practices provided constructive moments, also promoting criticality, within the moral and ethical-professional precepts. The compulsory Supervised Internship allowed to observe the importance of integration between the services provided by Adagro, as for example, Agricultural Surveillance, and the due care for agriculture in Pernambuco to continue developing more and more, as well as the guarantee to the health of the population through food of higher quality, besides making possible the experience of professional practice, in a part of the work of the agronomist little seen during the course.
