Production of Irrigated Rice in the Second Stage of the River Formoso Project in the Brazilian Savanna Region

The information survey was carried out in the second stage of the Formoso River Project in Formoso do Araguaia - TO, in the COPERJAVA area - Mixed Cooperative Rural Valley of Javaés Ltda, located in the Brazilian savanna region. During the research period, some practices related to the production of irrigated rice were monitored, such as straw burning, soil preparation, sowing, nitrogen fertilization cover, and phytosanitary treatments to control weeds, insect pests, and diseases. Monitoring was made in the cultivated areas to observe the development of irrigated rice, and to regulate the height of the water depth in the plots and its uniformities of the water depth. Activities were developed to regulate equipment and facilities involved in rice production. These provided an increase in the knowledge acquired about the irrigated rice crop, emphasizing the need and importance of the association between the theoretical basis acquired during the course and the practice in the field.
