Inadequate management of agricultural inputs, combined with the growing demand for soil fertilization, has generated significant environmental impacts. This project proposes solutions to optimize the use of fertilizers, minimize waste, and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main focus is the development of biopolymeric films, pellets, and filaments as precur…
The main objective of this project is the preparation, characterization, and application of polymeric structures as host matrices for programmable release nutrients in soil and plant. The project cover three main goals: 1) Preparation of nanocellulose/nutrient (NC/nutrient) and chitosan/nanocellulose/nutrient () microparticles by spray drying; 2) Thermal processing of PHB/starch and PHB/T…
The main goal of this project is the preparation, characterization and application of hybrid polymeric materials for nutrients release in soil and plant. The project comprises three main targets: 1) Preparation and characterization of hybrids polymeric materials as microspheres and with macronutrients (nitrogen and potassium), 2) Evaluation of the mechanism and kinetics of the release of …

World population growth has driven demand for food, resulting in the intensive use of fertilizers in agricultural production. However, a substantial portion of the nutrients found in conventional fertilizers, intended to fulfill the plant's nutritional requirements, is lost, primarily through volatilization and leaching. Then, optimizing agricultural production techniques is imperative to…
Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) appear as an alternative for the more efficient application of fertilizers, as they attenuate environmental impacts and keep the nutrients needed for the stages of plant growth available for longer. A current major challenge is the development of EEFs from materials that degrade in the environment after fulfilling their nutrient release function. Thu…
Given the population increase, there is a need to expand food production. In agriculture, fertilizer is used to supply nutrients to the plants and increase productivity, but at the same time, there is a problem: nutrient leaching. As a solution we have the programmed release of fertilizers, which supplies the need for nutrients at the initial and subsequent moments, and, as a consequence,…
Encouraging the development of sustainable agriculture is very important to reduce the negative impacts of overuse of the land. In this way, the use of intelligent materials that release nutrients in a prolonged way, associate with sustainable policies, can contribute to greener agriculture. It is interesting these materials are obtained through green processes and use biodegradable mater…

The increasing global population has intensified food demand, leading to unsustainable fertilizer use and significant environmental nutrient losses. Innovative agricultural practices are essential to achieve sustainable food production in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 12. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs), which utilize biodegradable lignocel…
Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) have the potential to improve the agricultural systems by specific formulation of materials which has mechanisms of slow or controlled release. Studies have shown that the use of EEFs promote an increase in nutrients use efficiency, reduces the doses of application and the frequency of the application along with the cost of the fertilizer. Because of…
Programmable fertilizer has been intensively studied in the last decades to deliver nutrients in a regular and continuous way to plants. Parallel to these efforts, cellulose-based materials have attracted attention. There is a wide number of recent works involving the development of materials containing cellulose nanoparticles (CNs). CNs have hydroxyl groups on its surface with great pote…
Controlled delivery system is a remarkable research area since with strategic materials the chemical substances such as agrochemical can target the soil and plant with improve efficacy. Designing polymeric composite materials with synergic properties of the components is a tool to get a peculiar behavior. This project aims to investigate the synthesis of controlled release biocomposites f…
