FRUIT TREE PROPAGATION PRACTICES: WORKSHOPS HELD AT AGROTINS 2025

Abstract

This project aims to train students and farmers in the implementation of vegetative propagation techniques for fruit trees, contributing to the strengthening of regional fruit farming. Through practical activities, including overcoming dormancy, cutting, and stem sectioning, participants had the opportunity to acquire technical knowledge applied to the production of quality seedlings. The activities were carried out at the Unitins Agrotechnology Showcase at Agrotins, promoting interaction between academia, the production sector, and the community. The results indicate that the practical training fostered an understanding of propagation methods, favoring the generation of new perspectives for increasing productivity and sustainability in family farming. Thus, the project contributes to the training of qualified professionals and the development of fruit farming in Tocantins, encouraging the adoption of innovative and sustainable practices in the agricultural sector.
