Holambra, São Paulo

Expertise in R&D for the development of new products for seed treatments of large crops and vegetables, focusing on laboratory experiments and greenhouses. I am also part of the Crop Care team, with the planning, assembly and conduction of experiments in greenhouses, using mainly the Spray Chamber for testing the positioning of new products.

Maringá

PhD in Agronomy with emphasis on Plant Protection (Phytopathology) at the State University of Maringá (UEM). The doctoral thesis focused on discovering the best chemical management for the control of mycotoxins in the barley, one of the main problems that affect this culture so important for the production of beer. Lines of research: phytopathogenic fungi, mycotoxicology, chemical control of plant diseases and agricultural experimentation (the thesis was carried out in partnership with Cooperativa Agrária Agroindustrial: Severity of Fusarium graminearum in barley and mycotoxins produced by the pathogen, chemical control of FHB in different reproductive stages of culture). The work was carried out in the Plant Pathology Laboratory and in the greenhouse at UEM.

Maringá

Master in Agronomy with emphasis in Plant Pathology at Maringá State University, Brazil. The thesis was developed in the field with different genotypes of common maize and popcorn in relation to their suscetibility to Fusarium verticillioides and mycotoxin acculumation (fumonisin). In the Plant Pathology Laboratory, tasks related to the cultivation of the pathogen, such as multiplication and sporulation induction, were performed.

Cambé

Focus on teamwork, well coordinated, planned and organized, in order to carry out all activities related to soybean culture in the company's research sector (Plant Pathology Laboratory and greenhouse). Tasks were carried out such as the cultivation of phytopathogens (fungi, bacteria and nematodes that attack the crop), planting and conducting tests in a greenhouse and field, inoculations, maintenance of the experiments, evaluation of experiments, seed germination tests on paper roll and general laboratory routines (preparation of culture medium, autoclaving, spreadsheets and reports of the activities developed).

Londrina/Pr

The work was developed in the Seed Pathology Laboratory, focusing on bean diseases. A genetic variability analysis of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum population was conducted in Paraná State (Southern region of Brazil) among isolates collected all over the State, through the in vitro mycelial compatibility. In the greenhouse, the pathogen was inoculated in different beans genotypes. After the development of symptoms, its severity was measured using a scale of scores. Laboratory and greenhouse activities were developed, as well as team work on projects carried out in the Laboratory.
