Gatiboni, Luciano Colpo

Collaborator(s):
Luke Gatiboni
Description:

This project has three M.S. students and four Ph.D. students from Santa Catarina State University working in different subprojects to create a friendly system for classification the risk of a given soil to become a source of environmental pollution. Many agricultural soils from Santa Catarina State, Brazil, receive animal wastes as fertilizers. Some of them accumulated over the years very high quantities of phosphorus. The objective of this project is to find a critical value of phosphorus in the soil when the fertilization should be stoped.
