Topics I speak about

My experience allows me to address technical and strategic topics related to soil fertility, fertilization management, fertilizers, agronomic efficiency, plant nutrition and new technologies, adapting the content to each audience — from farmers to technical teams, consultants, distributors and agribusiness professionals. More than passing on knowledge, my goal is to connect science and practice to help professionals and companies make better decisions in the field.

Nitrogen fertilization and efficient nitrogen use

Sources, timing and management to reduce losses and increase fertilization efficiency.

Liming and gypsum application in tropical soils

Soil correction and acidity management to maximize yield.

Organomineral and controlled-release fertilizers

Technologies and agronomic efficiency applied in the field.

Mineral plant nutrition

Nutritional diagnosis and good fertilization practices in row crops.

Soil chemistry and fertility

Fundamentals applied to decision-making in the field.

New fertilizer technologies

Trends and innovations presented at Brazilian and international conferences.
