Served as a Visiting Scientist at the University of California, Davis, in 19841985. Recipient of the Moinho Santista Youth Award in 1980 and the Fernando Costa Medal for Research in 2019. Has been frequently honored by students throughout his career.He was the founder, Director, and CEO of the Foundation for Agricultural and Forestry Studies and Research and also served as Director of the Institute of Meteorological Research at UNESP. From 1995 to 2007, he served at the agricultural coordination of the São Paulo State Research Support Foundation.He organized and coordinated the Postgraduate Program in Agronomy/Agriculture at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FCA-UNESP) for four terms and served two terms as Head of the Department of Plant Production (FCA-UNESP). He was hired as an instructor by the School of Agricultural Sciences, UNESP in I 1975 and retired as a Full Professor in 2024.He served as Vice President of the Brazilian Society of Soil Science and is currently a member of the International Plant Nutrition Council. He is also Vice President of Communications for the Scientific Council of Sustainable Agriculture and a Professor Emeritus at the University of Western São Paulo.Ranked among the most cited researchers in the field of agriculture, he has extensive experience in agricultural sciences, with a focus on soil fertility, fertilization, applied plant physiology, root development, agricultural production systems, crop rotation, and nutrient and carbon cycling. His work primarily involves crops such as cotton, soybeans, cover crops, and crop-livestock integration systems. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The present proposal addresses the continuation of two long-term experiments initiated and conducted to date within the project NUCLEUS: An associated virtual center to promote improvements in the efficiency of nitrogen use in the UK and Brazil through soil- integrated plant. The subproject 1 - Nitrogen fertilization for maize/forage in rotation with soybean and its effects on in soybean …
Our specific aims are to: 1. Bring together some of the UK and Brazil's top ranked institutes and leading researchers. 2. To deploy specific work packages (WP) that address important research gaps in our understanding to improve NUE and priorities for Brazil including WP1: Use of Sensor Technologies to Improve NUE in Crop Production; WP2: Linking the Impacts of Soil Physical Condition and…

Peanuts are grown mainly in sandy soils with low phosphorus availability, although there may be non-labile phosphorus due to previous fertilization. There are reports that peanuts are efficient in absorbing P in less labile ways. On the other hand, currently the cultivars are more productive than those of the past, so that fertilization has been carried out empirically, with the need to e…
Nitrogen is the nutrient absorbed in the greatest amount by the cotton plant, and approximately 43% of the amount absorbed and exported from the production field. It happens that, due to the possibility of losses, the efficiency of use of nitrogen fertilizer has been low. Recently, studies have been released showing that the use of omeprazole, a drug that regulates the activity of the pro…
The adjustment of nitrogen fertilization is essential to improve the efficiency of N use and maize yield, but little is known about the impact of the early fertilization with nitrogen on yield and N losses by leaching, and whether this is dependent on the source of nitrogen. The objective of the study is to evaluate the nitrate leaching in the soil profile, as well as the nutrition and yi…
In oxidic soils, phosphorus is considered the most limiting nutrient for crop productivity because the phenomenon of adsorption occurs, due to its limited availability by adsorption reactions that immobilize the P in the fertilizer. Thus, the soil behaves as a drain of P, being adsorbed or complexed, giving rise to labile phosphorus (available to plants) and non-labile phosphorus (unavail…

Phosphorus (P) is one of the main limiting factors for crop productivity in tropical weathered soils due to its high adsorption with iron and aluminum oxides. One of the strategies to improve P use efficiency is to use crops and/or cultivars with greater P use efficiency. Peanut is considered a species with high P use efficiency, but it is still unknown whether this efficiency is dependen…
The effect of no-till on soil C accumulation is well known, and soil labile C has been related to the amount of straw in the system (Tivet et al., 2013). However, the accumulation of stable C, bound to soil minerals, is more interesting because of its greater resilience. Agricultural conservation systems are known to improve soil aggregation (Madari et al., 2005), and smaller aggregates a…
Land-based solutions to mitigate the global climate change crisis require the adoption of sustainable agriculture management practices. Intercropped systems - maize-forages cropped simultaneously - are key strategies to increase soil carbon (C) sequestration and agricultural resilience to extreme weather events. The complex biogeochemical C and nitrogen (N) dynamics is a challenge for soi…
