Nowadays, biotechnology is one of the key technologies for maintenance and increased productivity in developing countries, linked to that of the soybean growth in the country has always been associated with scientific advances and the availability of technology in the productive sector. This study aimed to investigate the historical evolution of the adoption of transgenic soybeans in a group of farmers in the Baixo Araguaia in the state of Mato Grosso. With a focus on INTACT RR2 PRO technology, determining which variety with this technology is more used by the group of farmers in the region and finally capturing the expected adoption for the 2016/2017 harvest. For this, we chose a group of farmers of Baixo Araguaia of Mato Grosso State - Brazil that represent better the region. Data collection was obtained through a questionnaire that sought to capture the real perception and adoption of RR2 PRO technology. In the study we found 90% of the farmer's group use transgenic soybean seeds on their properties. Use of INTACT RR2 PRO soybean technology demonstrated consistent growth in recent harvest, 85% of respondents producers are going to use this technology in the 2016/2017 harvest. The variety Msoy 8372 IPRO shows the highest intention of planting for the next harvest.
