The intensification of extreme weather events, particularly drought periods, has significantly compromised agricultural productivity, especially in sensitive crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). In this context, hydrogels have emerged as a promising technology to mitigate water stress due to their high water retention capacity in the soil. However, little is known about their functional per…
Carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC)-based hydrogels, being biodegradable, have the potential to enhance soil biological activity by stabilizing moisture, supplying organic substrates, and stimulating microbial processes. Nevertheless, their effectiveness depends on the application rate, soil texture, presence of synthetic additives in the formulation, and residence time in the environment. Cont…
Changes in rainfall patterns have caused periods of drought that coincide with the sowing season of different crops. Associated with this, the recent lack of agricultural inputs, mainly synthetic fertilizers, directly impacts the price of food. Sowing is the most critical moment in water availability and mineral nutrition, where the scarcity of water in the soil can affect the development…
The increase demand for food has led to the inclusion of technologies that seek to optimize the production. Producers concerned about abrupt climate changes, such as torrential rain, hail, windstorms, and also pest attack protection, started to use protected environments for cultivation. One of the main crops grown in protected environment is the tomato, which has shown significant growth…
Carboxymethylcellulose-based hydrogels, due to their biodegradable nature, have the potential to enhance soil biological activity by stabilizing moisture, supplying organic substrate, and promoting microbial activity. However, their effect will depend on the application rate, soil texture, presence of synthetic additives in the formulation, and residence time in the environment. Continuou…
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymers with a high capacity for water absorption and retention, acting as temporary moisture reservoirs in the soil. Their application has shown beneficial effects on plant physiology, such as increased water use efficiency, maintenance of leaf turgor, and stability of gas exchange under limited irrigation conditions. Thus, the hypothesis is that the efficiency…
Contemporary agriculture seeks techniques and technologies that mitigate the production of global warming agents, such as greenhouse gases (GHG), while contributing to food security by reducing effects like hidden hunger. Agriculture is becoming increasingly resilient by adopting technologies such as controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers, which decrease both GHG emissions and the amount…

Changes in rainfall patterns have led to the development of technologies to reduce their effects. Thus, polysaccharide nanocomposite hydrogels have been used as water retainers. Their water retention power can vary between 200-400 times their weight and is directly linked to the material used in their composition. In addition, it has the capacity to carry out the controlled release of fe…
Water stress is one of the main problems facing Brazilian agronomy. With a subtropical climate, high temperatures cause high evapotranspiration rates, intensifying the effects caused by water deficit. Thus, the use of polymers, such as hydrogels, in water deficit retention is a strategy that has demonstrated great advantages and efficiency. Thus, understanding how to optimize this resourc…
Brazil is the world's largest meat exporter and has the largest commercial herd in the world. This is due to the low cost of pasture compared to concentrated feed, and it is the main source of food for cattle produced on pasture. However, due to periods of drought and changes in rainfall patterns, pastures do not produce enough to feed the herds. The aim of this project will therefore be …

Due to global warming, climate change has been intensifying increasingly, altering the rainfall regime and increasing the heat that reaches the planet, which consequently affects food production in general. Thus, in this way, managing the soil with new technologies for water retention is necessary to make it available at the ideal time for the development of the plant. Thus, the use of hy…

This research project explores the use of controlled-release hydrogels with zinc for the biofortification of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), to address global challenges including food security, water scarcity, and climate change. The main objectives are to evaluate the effects of hydrogels on soil respiration, microbial activity, and nutrient availability, while improving water-use…
The increasing demand for food, driven by population growth and climate change, demands innovative solutions to ensure food security and agricultural sustainability. Selenium-fortified hydrogels are one of such solution, as they can enhance soil water retention and provide essential nutrients to plants. This study aims to evaluate the impact of selenium-fortified hydrogels on soil respira…
The present Research Internship Abroad scholarship project (BEPE) for a visiting undergraduate student involves the follow-up of an experiment which is currently underway at Rothamsted Research, called the Designing Future Wheat (DFW) project. The DFW project aims at more resistant wheat species capable of improving productivity for future generations. Led by Dr. Malcom Hawkesford, the wo…
