Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Agricultural Engineering from Universidade Federal de Pelotas (1983), with a master's degree in Agricultural Engineering from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1991) and PhD in Agricultural Engineering - University of Nebraska (1996). He is a Professor at the University of São Paulo, in the Department of Biosystems Engineering, ESALQ, in Piracicaba since 1989, where he coordinates the Precision Agriculture Laboratory and is a CNPq Researcher. He works at the interface between the area of Agricultural Machinery and Precision Agriculture, especially with crop and soil sensors, spatial variability, yield mapping and site specific application of inputs. He coordinated the Brazilian Congress of Precision Agriculture from its creation in 2004 until 2018; chaired the Brazilian Commission for Precision Agriculture - CBAP, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply from its creation in 2012 to 2016 and was president of the Brazilian Association of Precision Agriculture - AsBraAP, from its foundation until 2020.

Soil characterization is important in the establishment of agronomic practices that provide economic and environmental safe food production. Water retention, porosity, cation exchange capacity and texture are soil properties related to each other and can be used to define environments with varying yield potential. Soil samplings followed by standardized laboratory analysis are the usual m…

With the recent definition of the locations where the Agrotechnological Districts (DATs) will be implemented, challenging demands have arisen that represent opportunities for the Center of Science for Development in Digital Agriculture (Semear Digital). The choice of the municipality of Jacupiranga, in São Paulo, involves challenges associated with banana and pupunha crops, which have bee…

The productivity maps obtained by equipment embedded in harvesters are a precision agriculture technology of great importance for monitoring the variability of Brazilian sugarcane fields, representing an essential variable for Differentiated Management Units (UGDs). However, as a result of technological, logistical and operational barriers, most farmers opt for productivity estimates base…
The high cost of collecting and analyzing soil samples represents a bottleneck for the sugarcane production, preventing the identification of soil spatio-temporal variability, causing inefficiency in the application of inputs and a decline in sustainability of the production chain, area of interest of Precision Agriculture (PA). With the recent adoption of yield monitoring technologies in…
For some agricultural crops the characterization of product quality becomes as important as the measurement of productivity. Sugarcane is an example. The crop profitability is a result association of productivity and quality. Despite the advances in productivity measurement, including the new sensors development in harvesters, quality measurement in real time is still a distant reality. T…

This proposal outlines a collaborative research project between the University of São Paulo's Laboratory of Precision Agriculture (LAP) and the University of Sydney's Precision Agriculture Laboratory (PA Lab), focusing on advancing precision agriculture practices for sugarcane. Supervised by Dr. Patrick Filippi, the project aims to leverage the expertise of the Australian group to enhance…
Since conventional sampling and laboratory soil analysis do not provide a cost-effective capability to obtain georeferenced measurements with adequate frequency to precision agriculture approaches, different sensing techniques have been attempted. Our original project is exploring "new" sensing tools (XRF, LIBS and Vis-NIR sensors) and the synergism between then to access fertility attrib…
The demand for alternative sources of energy is globally growing , propitiating an intense expansion to the Brazilian sugarcane sector that demands technologies to maximize the sugarcane production and its economical return. Precision agriculture appears as an important tool, offering among others, sensors that work with crops reflectance allowing for variable rate nitrogen fertilizatio…
