Raffaella Rossetto is graduated in Agronomic Engeneeuring from Luiz de Queiróz College of Agriculture (1981), Master's in Nuclear Energy in Agriculture from the Luiz de Queiróz College of Agriculture (1987) and Ph.D. in Soils and Plant Nutrition from the Luiz de Queiróz College of Agriculture ( 1994). Between 2011 and 2012 she did a Post Doctorate at the University of Florida, EREC campus in Belle Glade, where she worked with crop options for bioenergy. She is currently a Scientific Researcher at Instituto Agronomico de Campinas-IAC, developing research activities with the Sugarcane program in Jau, SP. Has experience in Agronomy, with an emphasis on Soil Fertility and Fertilization, Use of Waste in the cultivation of sugarcane and environmental issues, acting on the following topics: sugarcane, fertilization, mineral nutrition, chemical attributes, soil and environment quality , nitrogen dynamics. The most relevant research projects were on: Use of vinasse in sugarcane and environmental aspects (UNICA, IAC, FAPESP), Nitrogen fertilization in sugarcane ratoons - N2 losses in protected fertilizers (SABIC, UBYFOL, FUNDAG), Liming for sugarcane culture in acid soils (Massari Ltd, FUNDAG). Nutrition and irrigation for sugarcane (Us. Sao Martinho, Us. Denusa, FUNDAG). She has been internationally part of the ISSCT-International Society of Sugarcane Technologists, representing Brazil on the Technical Committee, and IAPSIT-International Association of Professionals in Sugar and Integrated Technologies, representing Brazil on the Executive Committee. In Brazil, since 1998 she has been elected Treasure Secretary of STAB - Brazilian Society of Sugar and Ethanol Tecnhologist. She received three awards for her work in the sugarcane sector.

The increasing ethanol production represents many advantages to Brazil as a less pollutant renewable fuel, but it will generate higher quantities of vinasse, the residue that is applied as a fertilizer for sugarcane. On the other hand, it is already known that there is a potential risk of ion lixiviation to the underground waters when high rates of vinasse are applied to the same soil dur…
In order to evaluate concentrated vinasse effects on soils and its potential risk of ionlixiviation to underground waters, several trials will be carried out. The specific aims are: (1) Comparethe normal and concentrated vinasse physical-chemical characteristics from several samplings fromthe same factory, and also, to compare their characteristics with the parameters established by thele…
Close to Piracicaba city there is an ancient sugarcane cultivated area that incidently was contaminated with heavy metals material, as a result of the application of a mixture of sand and scrap iron (containing heavy metals). Despite of the contamination,the São Paulo State environmental agency, named Cetesb, prohibited any commercial cultivation in the area, but it was allowed to a group…
