The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization for the coffee crop is still notwell known under intensive and irrigated management conditions, when highrates are applied without much scientific support. Besides the cost/benefitproblem, these high fertilizer application rates can cause an undesiredenvironmental impact, which can be minimized through changes in managementpractices introduced by s…

Brazilian soybeans yields have steadily risen considerably since the beginning of the green revolution to the present day. Among several factors that contributed to both new technologies and agricultural practices as well as the genetic gain afforded by plant breeding. While soybean yield increased through traditional breeding efforts, morphophysiological modifications in Brazilian cultiv…
This research plan proposes the use of the model Soil-Water-Atmosphere-Plant (SWAP) in combination with the model Agricultural Nutrient model (ANIMO) to simulate the fate of nitrogen (N) from N-15 labeled urea fertigated coffee culture . The subjects of the doctoral program will be held in the first half of 2012 and then will start the thesis with a thorough literature review and studies …
The nitrogen absorption by corn occurs differently in different stages of this plant development, studies on the best periods of application and the forms of the nutrient uptake by the plant are extremely important for better management of this culture, and understanding about the influence of physiological characteristics with the absorption of this nutrient may contribute to a better us…

The average yield of the soybean crop in Brazil has increased considerably in the last 50 years, however it is widely unknown what are the morphophysiological attributes that contributed to this increase. It is intended with this research, to better understand how the genetic improvement for soybean yield modified aspects of plant physiology. Moreover, from the industrial revolution to th…
