Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR). Centro de Ciências Agrárias (CCA) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Full Professor at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), affiliated with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection at the Center for Agricultural Sciences. His expertise lies in Agricultural Engineering, with emphasis on Irrigation and Drainage, Water Resources, and Environmental Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with a research internship at Utah State University (USA), and completed postdoctoral fellowships at ESALQ/USP and the University of California Davis (USA). He earned his Masters degree in Agronomy (Irrigation and Drainage) and his undergraduate degree in Agronomic Engineering from the São Paulo State University (UNESP). At UFSCar, he has held administrative roles including Head of Department (20092015) and Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Agriculture and Environment in multiple terms. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses focused on water use and management in agriculture. His main research lines include rational water use, fertigation, agricultural reuse of treated effluents, enhanced-efficiency fertilizers, and applications of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) in soils and irrigation systems. He coordinates and collaborates on projects funded by agencies such as FAPESP, CNPq, and CAPES. He has a significant scientific output, with over 1,000 citations in the Scopus database, and actively serves as a reviewer for scientific journals and research funding agencies. He has supervised numerous masters theses, doctoral dissertations, and undergraduate research projects, contributing substantially to the training of new researchers. He was awarded the Gerdau Best of the Land Prize (2009), received institutional recognition from UFSCar (2014), and had articles nominated by Elsevier (2015). He has also been honored multiple times as a class mentor at graduation ceremonies. His career is distinguished by significant contributions to sustainable agriculture, impacting technological innovation, efficient water resource management, and the development of highly qualified professionals.

Every activity developed by human beings needs some form of use of natural resources, in which available water resources have been compromised in recent decades. One way to mitigate environmental impacts is to seek alternatives for their supply. Thus, a measure that has been disseminated is the use of treated domestic sewage in agriculture, which can guarantee an increase in production du…
The disproportionate distribution of natural resources and the demand for water and nutrients in agricultural systems makes it important to search for alternative sources of supply, so a measure that has been diffused is the use of treated domestic sewage in agriculture, which can guarantee an increase in production due to the greater contribution of nutrients and organic matter. Allied t…
This proposal aims to study the feasibility of reuse of treated water from the pilot plant wastewater treatment by compact bed of roots as an alternative source of water and nutrients in the hydroponic cultivation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L). The experiment will be performed Agricultural Science Center-UFSCar in Araras, SP, in a greenhouse. The crops will be from October to December 201…

The inappropriate management of plastic waste used in agriculture associated with the high need for soil fertilization has led to several negative impacts on the environment. Alternatives to reduce these problems have been carried out with materials that use fertilizer efficiently and without generating waste. The objective of this work is to propose a film composed of Alg/Kc/CNF that has…
The lack of efficient alternatives for fertilization in greenhouse that do not cause salinization of the soil as is the case of fertirrigation is evident, because of this new technologies are introduced to meet the needs of the agricultural market. The objective of this work is to test the efficiency of fertilizer polymers compared to fertigation in the tomato culture, using moisture sens…
The lack or excess of water during the management of the tomato crop can be detrimental to the production. Thereby, the search for technologies that improve crop productivity and reduce the volume of water applied during the crop cycle is essential for agricultural production and for the environment. The objective of this work is to evaluate the irrigation deficit in yield of Grape irriga…

The Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory (SSCZO) is a community platform for research on critical-zone (CZ) processes along a steep elevation transect where precipitation grades from dominantly rain to dominantly snow and ecosystems range from oak savannah biomes to subalpine forests. Spatial gradients in CZ properties and processes permit substitution of space for time, making the S…
Currently the study of agricultural techniques has sought better management practices for agriculture, to increase the productive potential, but without changing the characteristics of the production. The technique of TDR have been outstanding for this purpose due to its ease of use, fast and accurate information gathering, non-destructive method, and is not influenced by texture, density…
