Agronomist with PhD in Plant Nutrition and Soil Science. Has been woorking with soil fertility and fertilizers since 1998, and focusing in Sugargane crop since 2004. At 2010 started to use precision agriculture techquinics to increase the crop management of sugarcane for energy puposes. He was visiting academic at University of Queensland - Australia. It is associated to sugarcane societies since 2008: STAB (BRAZIL); ATALAC (Latin America) and ISSCT (Worldwide). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Crop production is strongly affected by soil particle density levels, called soil compaction.Widely studied in Brazil and worldwide, the compaction of agricultural soils can negatively impact on root development, making the crop susceptible to stress, such as water deficit and nutrients need. To avoid theses damage, farmers use soil decompression equipment through soil tillage operations …
The Brazilian agreement signed in September 2016 during COP-21 reaffirms the vital role of Brazil with sugarcane production, the main Brazilian biomass for renewable fuels such as ethanol. Together with the need to expand production, the increase of fertilizer consumption is intrinsic. Increasing production means increasing the inputs application. Thus, if the management of inputs is not …
The effectiveness of N from fertilizer by sugarcane usually it is lower than 50%, affecting crop yield and increasing the risks of nitrous oxide emission. Further, previous data showed that sugarcane root system it is located near of ratoon, indicating gains in sugarcane yield when nitrogen fertilizer was applied in those region with high roots concentration. In spite of this subject (nit…
After sugarcane harvesting mechanization a new organic residue is generated: the straw (trash) (composed by dry leaves, shoots and green leaves). This material has positive impacts on crop yield, such as nutrient cycling and maintenance of soil moisture on drought periods. However, under some climatic and soil conditions, the maintenance of sugarcane straw on the field increases the incid…

Complementary to the current Post-doctoral FAPESP fellowship (2016/13813-8) we herein present a proposal for an abroad research internship at the School of GeoSciences, located at the University of Edinburgh, which hosts the UK Biochar Research Centre (UKBRC). In agreement with Dr Saran Sohi, we here propose activities that address two pillars of understanding, regarding biochar function …
Here, we present a plan for an abroad research internship, which it is complementary to the ongoing postdoctoral project (FAPESP 2015/21893-9) and FAPESP regular project (2015/23186-8) coordinated by my Brazilian supervisor. For this internship we propose two main activities, first: use the bioinformatics platform and know-how from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (MIT…
