By Gustavo Santos Perlin, Nelson Victoria Bariani, Cassiane Jrayj de Melo

This book reports the actions carried out at the Integrated Interdisciplinary Laboratory (LABii) of the Federal University of the Pampa and at the Agro Byeta farm in the municipality of Buriticupu/MA. The activities reported in detail are: i) monitoring soybean crops, through remote sensing of vegetation index and color compositions; ii) practical field activities that included: a) monitoring the choice of soybean cultivars; b) definition of sowing season; and c) management of sowing, including maintenance, adjustment of sowing machines and centrifugal distributors; iii) management of pesticides, being the preparation of syrup and aerial application. Based on the results of satellite monitoring and observations made in the field, the choice of sowing date, in accordance with the local agricultural zoning, and the use of good crop management allowed for an optimum harvest, with the expression of the genetic potential of the variety cultivated.
