João holds a PhD in Crop Science from Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture - ESALQ/USP, where he has been actively involved in research since his undergraduate studies, focusing on plant ecophysiology and nutrition, cover crops, regenerative agriculture, and agroecosystem management and resilience. His academic journey includes a FAPESP-funded bachelor's project on soybean nitrogen metabolism (2015, ESALQ/USP); a master's degree exploring Urochloa (brachiaria) phosphorus mobilization and its intercrop with coffee (2020, ESALQ/USP); and a doctoral dissertation on the performance of tropical cover crop mixtures (2025, ESALQ/USP). In the USA (2022-2023), he collaborated as a research scholar at Dean Lee Research Station LSU AgCenter, Louisiana State University and the University of Missouri - MU, contributing to advancements in sugarcane and soybeans ecophysiology, genotype-by-environment interactions, and multi-environment trial analysis. João also collaborates with private companies as a scientific consultant, applying his expertise in experimental design, statistical analysis, and sustainable agriculture. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Conservationist production systems, such as no-tillage system (NT), represent a sustainable way to produce food, as long as its three principles are attained: (i) no soil tillage; (ii) permanent soil cover either as plant residues or living plants; and (iii) crop rotation. However, the way NT is done in Brazil, those principles are not always attained and problems such as soil compaction,…
Coffee cultivation in Brazil is almost predominantly under full sunlight and with uncovered soil, what favors the development of stresses caused by high soil temperatures and low water availability. High temperature in the soil damages roots and consequently the entire plant development. Intercropping is a management alternative to reduce these negative effects. Palisade grass has been us…
Nitrogen (N) is the most required nutrient by soybean due to high protein level in seeds. N demand is supplied especially by biological fixation, but also by N soil absorption. During seed filling period, redistribution process contributes with this demand. Redistribution process provides half of the total N in grains. In this process, N stored in tissues as arginine is degraded and relea…
