Levantamento de informaçãoes para implementação de politica pública e assistencial para produtores rurais do município de Tacima-PB

Abstract

Soil is a natural, non-renewable and highly essential resource. In this aspect, the study of the soil is a key factor for the production of agricultural crops, as it helps the producer with information to obtain plants with good development and consequently good productivity. However, there is still a lack of regional studies focused on soil. In this sense, public policies that take into account the implementation of a program or regulation that makes soil analysis, fertilizer recommendations and crop indications an integral part of a municipality's agricultural planning and development are necessary. Therefore, the objective of this work is to establish a public policy focused on soil analysis, fertilizer recommendations and indications of specific crops for the municipality of Tacima-PB, initially for the context of the Fazenda Boa Esperança Settlement. To carry out this work, a first visit was made to the Settlement headquarters, presenting the University Extension Project in Rural Settlements and, on that occasion, a historical and socioeconomic survey was carried out. Within the project stages, a visit was made to the National Semi-Arid Institute in Campina Grande-PB, to learn about the germplasm bank and the forage cactus varieties resistant to carmine cochineal and subsequent selection to be implemented in the Settlement. Furthermore, a second visit to the Settlement took place, where a soil collection was carried out for physical-chemical and fertility analysis. Based on the Pernambuco state recommendation manual, he indicated crops and fertilizer recommendations according to the region's soil analysis. It should be noted that establishing this practice as public policy is fundamental to promoting sustainability and increasing agricultural productivity in the region. Through detailed soil assessment and cultivation recommendations, farmers can optimize resource use, lower costs and reduce environmental impacts, providing healthier and more profitable crops. It was observed that cactus, elephant grass, acerola and cotton are crops that can be used in the municipality of Tacima-PB.
