O mercado de sementes de soja vem se mostrando muito exigente e competitivo, fazendo com que as empresas inseridas neste mercado passem por mudan??as peri??dicas buscando maior qualidade de seus produtos, melhor efici??ncia dos seus processos de produ????o, e n??o se esquecendo dos produtos requeridos pelo mercado e sua comercializa????o. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho visa estudar qualidade das sementes, considerando germina????o, a avalia????o foi feita em percentual e em cinco classes, quantidades totais produzidas, a evolu????o da produ????o e comercializa????o de quatro cultivares de sementes de soja produzida pela Cooperalfa nos munic??pios de Canoinhas, Chapec?? e Xanxer??, durante as safras de 2005/2006 a 2008/09. A an??lise dos dados permite concluir que a cooperativa possui dificuldades em acertar as quantidades de sementes a serem produzidas, mas pode-se afirmar que as sementes produzidas nas safras 2005/06 at?? 2008/09 possuem excelentes germina????es, sendo que a unidade de Xanxer?? produz sementes com maior qualidade fisiol??gica, e que mais de 80 % dos lotes de sementes independente de local de produ????o e anos de cultivo apresentam mais de 85% de germina????o, sendo recomendado a cooperativa investir em an??lises mercadol??gicas, tend??ncias, inova????es do setor e avalia????es de novas cultivares.The market for soybeans has been very demanding and competitive; making the companies entered this market to undergo periodic changes seeking higher quality products, better efficiency of production processes, and not forgetting the products required by the market and marketing. In this light, this paper aims to study seed quality, germination considering the assessment was made as a percentage and in five classes, total quantity produced, evolution of production and marketing of four cultivars of soybean seed produced by Cooperalfa in municipalities of Canoinhas, Chapec?? and Xanxer?? during the growing seasons of 2005/2006 to 2008/09.
