Secretaria de Agricultura e Abastecimento (São Paulo - Estado). Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA). APTA Regional (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I hold a degree in Agronomy Engineering from the University of São Paulo/ESALQ (1995), a Master's degree (1997), and a Doctorate (2001) in Agronomy (Soil Science and Plant Nutrition) from the University of São Paulo/ESALQ. I spent a semester studying fertilization in roses and hydroponic cultivation at the Istituto Sperimentale per la Floricoltura in Sanremo, Italy. A postdoctoral fellowship (CNPq) was undertaken in the field of soil fertility at the Federal University of Uberlândia from 2001 to 2003, with a focus on the use of silicon in agriculture. Following this, a professorship in soil fertility, fertilizer and plant physiology was held at the State University of Goiás from 2004 to 2005. Additionally, I served as an associate editor of the Horticultura Brasileira journal, specializing in soil fertilization, from 2008 to 2012. Since June 2005, I have been working as a scientific researcher at Agencia Paulista Tecnologia dos Agronegocios (APTA)/ APTA Regional. In addition, I served as director of research from 2017-2018 and as vice director of APTA Pólo Centro Sul from 2021-2022. Currently, I hold the position of Director at APTA Regional Piracicaba whilst continuing my work as a scientific researcher in Soil Fertility, Fertilization, and Plant Nutrition. My primary research areas include investigating the use of silicon in agriculture and ways to enhance plant quality under abiotic stress, particularly water deficit. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The benefits of silicon (Si) fertilization in plants are still little-know for soybean, especially regarding the responses to Si rates on soluble Si in contrasting soils and Si uptake. In addition to increased yield, Si could minimize of water deficit effects in soybean, but results are still scarce. It will be tested the hypotheses: a) Si rates increase the uptake by aerial part of soybe…

Silicon (Si) fertilization has been used on various gramineous plants, but few studies have been carried out on soybeans, especially regarding the residual effects on crop succession. Therefore, the objectives of this proposal will be the residual effect of Si doses in three contrasting soils on biometric, physiological and gas exchange responses in the second soybean cycle.The experiment…
The effects of silicon (Si) on yield plants and the minimization of damage caused by water deficit have been shown in several crops, especially gramineous plants. For soybean, there are few studies conducted with Si application, especially with silicates, which are the most common source used in Si-deficient soils. Therefore, the objectives of this present study will be evaluated the biom…
Fertilization with silicon (Si) in soybean, a major crop of economic relevance, may bring benefits to its biomass and grain production. However, the results of silicon fertilization are contradictory in the literature. Thus, the objectives of this project are to evaluate the biometric, physiological, and gas exchange responses of soybean planted in three contrasting soils with different d…
