THIAGO ASSIS RODRIGUES NOGUEIRA

Dr. Thiago Assis Rodrigues Nogueira is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Soil Science at São Paulo State University (UNESP), where he has been employed since December 2016. His research focuses on soil fertility, plant nutrition, and sustainable agricultural practices, particularly in Brazilian tropical environments.

His educational background includes:

• Bachelor's degree from Federal University of Minas Gerais (2006)
• Master's degree from São Paulo State University (2008)
• Doctoral degree from University of Sao Paulo (2012)

Dr. Nogueira's research interests center on soil fertility management, plant nutrition, and the use of alternative fertilizers in tropical agriculture. His work particularly emphasizes sustainable approaches to soil management in Brazilian Savannah (Cerrado) ecosystems. He investigates the effects of various soil amendments including sewage sludge, silicate minerals, and plant-growth-promoting bacteria on crop productivity and soil health. His research has significant implications for improving agricultural sustainability in tropical regions while addressing soil fertility constraints.

His publication record shows a strong focus on soil-plant interactions, with particular emphasis on nutrient cycling, soil amendment effects, and sustainable fertilization practices. Recent work has explored the use of composted sewage sludge as an organic fertilizer alternative, the application of silicate rock powders as soil remineralizers, and the integration of beneficial microorganisms in cropping systems. His research spans multiple crops including soybeans, maize, sugarcane, and common beans, all critical agricultural commodities in Brazil.

Dr. Nogueira has received recognition through multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals across soil science, agriculture, and environmental science disciplines. His work demonstrates a consistent contribution to understanding soil fertility management in tropical agricultural systems.

His research collaborations extend internationally, with co-authors from institutions in Brazil, Europe, and Asia, reflecting the global relevance of his work on sustainable soil management practices. He serves as a reviewer for several prominent journals in the fields of soil science and agriculture.
