Diagnóstico do uso da análise de solo em áreas de Agricultura Familiar no município de Uruçuí, Piauí.

Abstract

Family farming plays a key role in food production, job creation and economic growth, both in urban and rural areas. In this sense, the use of soil analysis emerges as an effective alternative for managing soil fertility. Therefore, the present work aimed to diagnose the use of soil analysis in family farming areas in the municipality of Uruçuí, Piauí. The present study used semi-structured questionnaires, containing open and closed questions. The interviews were conducted individually, with the printed questionnaire divided into three distinct parts: identification of the producer and production unit, knowledge about soil analysis and soil correction and fertilization management. After analyzing the data, it was found that family farmers are faced with a lack of technical assistance and a lack of access to soil analysis, resulting in inadequate agricultural practices
