Secretaria de Agricultura e Abastecimento (São Paulo - Estado). Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA). Instituto Agronômico (IAC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Ingeniera Agrónoma por la Universidade Federal de Lavras (1981), maestría (MSC) en Suelos y Nutrición de Plantas por la Universidade Federal de Lavras (1985) y doctorado en Suelos y Nutrición de plantas por la Universidade Federal de Viçosa (1991). Trabaja como investigadora científica en el Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC) desde 1989. Actualmente es profesora del curso de postgraduación del IAC como responsable de la asignatura ?Gestión de los Recursos Ambientales en la Agricultura? y profesora invitada en la Universidade da Coruña (España). Ha realizado estancias de corta duración en el área de Medio Ambiente y visitas técnicas en laboratorios de Análisis de Suelo y Planta en varios países (España, Holanda, Alemania, Estados Unidos, Canadá, México, Australia, Sudáfrica, Tailandia y Hungría). El enfoque de los trabajos científicos es analizar los micronutrientes y metales pesados en suelos y plantas, fitorremediación de metales pesados en suelos y gestión de calidad en los laboratorios.

The current proposal is extremely innovative and relevant because it aims at field evaluations in tropical soils both with biochar evaluation for remediation as for fertilizer soil conditioner, aiming the colonization of degraded areas and the sustainability of crop production. The expected results include new knowledge as a scientific contribution for research and new technologies that m…
Techniques of soil restoration of contaminated areas with heavy metals are usually expensive and sometimes difficult to apply in large field areas. Recently, soils treated with biochars have shown positive results on soil chemical, physical and biological characteristics. However, the extent of biochar contribution to soil recovery depends on the biomass origin, the biomass burning condit…
Heavy metals occur naturally in soils or can be increased due to human activities, mainly those associated with mining. Due to the high toxicity and accumulation in the food chain is of great importance to determine the behavior and fate of these elements in contaminated soils. Therefore, such information can help to minimize the ecotoxicological risk. With this proposal we aim to evaluat…

Recently, soils treated with biochars have shown positive results on soil chemical, physical and biological characteristics. However, the extent of biochar contribution to soil recovery depends on the biomass origin, the biomass burning conditions and the soil characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to have biochar as an easily available, ecologically correct and low-cost product to b…

Cadmium (Cd) is a trace element that can be highly toxic to biota, and humans are exposed mainly through contaminated food. Knowing the background concentration of Cd in soils is of great importance, as well as assays with plants to identify the effects of the contaminant in soil, which can be a viable alternative for assessing ecotoxicity. Therefore, this research has as main goals: to r…

Biochar (BC) is one of the materials produced by burning biomass under conditions of minimum oxygen, through the process called pyrolysis. The application of BC in soils is mainly used aiming at carbon sequestration, as well as to improve soil chemical, physical and biological properties. Due to its retention properties biochar has been studied for immobilization of inorganic contaminants…
