Research Focus: Soil Fertility 🌱

🌱 Soil Fertility 🌿 Fertilization of Forest Species (such as Pinus taeda, Eucalyptus, Araucaria, and Yerba Mate) 🔬 Micronutrients in Agriculture 🍃 Use of Organic and Residual Materials in Agriculture. These research areas are reflected in his work on topics such as magnesium deficiency in Pinus taeda, soil macrofauna in regenerating Atlantic Forest patches, crop rotation and liming effects on soybean and corn yield, environmental assessment of iron ore tailings, accumulation capacity of nickel and zinc in Yerba Mate, and wood production in response to fertilization and liming.
