Abstract

The objective of this proposal is to acquire a set of sensors for use in the laboratory and in the field, as well as a basic laboratory stipend, in order to carry out a multiuser, multidisciplinary project in the area of agricultural and environmental science. A single set of sensors can be used in a number of research settings: in soil; in plants; and in water. From an agricultural perspective, special attention is given to the development of the area of biofuels, as evidenced in recent years in the articles, in various lines of research, authored by the ESALQ Department of Soil Science research group. In terms of the environmental emphasis, the research is aimed at the investigation of agricultural recycling of organic residue. (AU)
