Abstract: Despite the indispensable use of agricultural fertilizers to achieve current levels of productivity, chemical nutrients have their effectiveness limited by problems, such as NH3 volatilization and soil immobilization. We developed a nanocomposite coating system based on castor oil-derived po...
O gênero Trichoderma é amplamente reconhecido por seu papel crucial na agricultura moderna, devido à sua capacidade de promover o crescimento de plantas e controlar doenças de forma sustentável e ecológica. Com mais de 500 espécies válidas descritas, o crescente número de sequenciamento...
Abstract: Zeolitic concentrates, microporous minerals, were produced from alum sludge (AS) of water treatment plants. The materials were produced for agricultural applications, especially in the formulation of alternative sources of fertilizer that can reduce nitrogen loss through volatilization and d...
O balanço de carbono (C) em sistemas de produção agrícola (sistemas de produção de grãos, fibras, bioenergia e pecuário) refere-se à avaliação quantitativa das emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), como o dióxido de carbono (CO2), metano (CH4) e óxido nitroso (N2O), em com...
Soil carbon stock (SCS) assessment and monitoring is required to evaluate soil health, assess soil ecosystem services, support carbon credit accounting, and guide public policy. In all cases, baseline SCS values are essential, yet they are hardly ever available across large regions, e.g...
Esta tese enfatiza a necessidade de formar profissionais das Ciências Agrárias aptos a trabalhar de forma sustentável e entender os principais desafios para essa formação. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar como a temática Sustentabilidade Ambiental é contemplada nos cursos superiores e...
Measuring soil carbon content dry combustion or wet chemistry requires extensive sample preparation and labor, making these methods too costly for monitoring soil carbon. Visible-near infrared (VisNIR) spectroscopy expedites soil carbon assessment with minimum sample preparation and reduced labor. The...
Eucalyptus ssp. (eucalyptus) is commonly used in integrated crop-livestock-forestry and livestock-forestry systems. Acacia mangium (acacia) grows as fast as eucalyptus in tropical conditions and is capable of fixing N2 from the atmosphere. Both species differ in terms of litter quality: eucalyptu...
Abstract: This study evaluated the effects of soil organic matter (SOM) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) in five pasture-based systems over three years (2019-2021): degraded pasture without nitrogen fertilization (DP0), silvopastoral with 200 kg N.ha-1 (SP200), rainfed pastures with 200 kg ...
Abstract: Organic carbon is essential for soil health, and conservation agriculture can minimize the negative effects of conventional practices on microbial communities and enzymatic activities, benefiting nutrient cycling and increasing soil organic matter. The enzyme beta-glucosidase (BG) stands out ...
