Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Professor of Soil Physics at the University of Sao Paulo, "Luiz de Queiroz" School of Agriculture - ESALQ/USP. Full Advisor for the Postgraduate Program in Soils and Plant Nutrition, ESALQ/USP, in the area of #8203;#8203;Soil Physics (CAPES 7). Agronomist and Master in Soil Science from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) and PhD in Soil Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), with a visiting time of Doctorate at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee, Scotland. Postdoctoral fellow in Sciences at the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture at the University of São Paulo. His main research aims to quantify and understand the dynamics of soil physical properties and their interactions with crops in agricultural systems. His research lines are related to the effects of soil physical conditions on root growth, soil physical quality, soil water and gas flow, soil-root-plant-atmosphere relationship, and root growth modeling. Coordinating professor of GFiS - Soil Physics Research Group at ESALQ/USP. Currently, he conducts research with an emphasis on the physical stresses experienced by roots growing in the soil, with a particular focus on no-tillage system and its relationship with water and mechanical stress for root elongation. e-mail: moacir.tuzzin@usp.br (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The main objective of the project is the development of new technologies for converting lignin into a graphitized material for transforming agricultural and environmental soils. Lignin is a by-product of the paper and cellulose manufacturing process produced in large quantities, which can be graphitized using microwave processing. Ultrafast microwave heating is an emerging technique with …
The root system of the sugarcane crop (Saccharum officinarum), during its elongation process, can be restricted by physical limitations of the soil, especially in compacted areas, culminating in a smaller volume of exploited soil and water restrictions for the plant, especially in conditions of low soil water potential. In this scenario, the structure of the soil is of great importance in…
The root system growth is essential for crops establishment and development. Usually, the root elongation rate is negatively affected by soil physical stresses, mainly mechanical and water stresses. The impacts of soil physical stresses are scare for sugarcane root elongation rate. Under these conditions, the soil structure, especially the presence of biopores, can contribute to mitigatin…
No-tillage system plays a key role in improving soil structure and consequently in the chemical, physical and biological quality of agricultural soils. The hypothesis is that a model based on the root elongation as a function of mechanical and hydric stress incorporate the effects of biopores and continuous pores to mitigate the physical stress for root growth. The objective of this propo…
The presence of biopores and root canals in the soil profile can mitigate the effect of soil compaction on soybean root growth. Cropping systems, based on pre-crops with abundant root systems can favor root deepening of grain-producing crops, increasing soil volume and available water, which can improve soil physical quality in no-till production systems. The objective is to evaluate the …
