Follow the organization of the next Brazilian Soil Science Congress
The next Brazilian Soil Science Congress will be in 2025, but it already has a date, location and even an Instagram profile. Want to know more? Why Upaon-Açu? Upaon-Açu is a Brazilian island in the state of Maranhão, with an area of 1,410.015 km² and is part of the Golfão Maranhense Archipelago and is where the state capital, São Luís, is located. The name Upaon-Açu was given by the Tremembés (Tupi-Guarani) Indians and means “big island”. It was also called São Luís Island. The indigenous name was reestablished by the constitution of Maranhão: Art. 8 – The city of São Luís, on the island of Upaon-Açu, is the state capital. Thus, the 39th Brazilian Soil Science Congress pays homage to the Tremembés – people originally from Maranhão Island. The site is part of a system with a great diversity of ecotones and a huge distribution of soil classes. Maranhão is located in a transition zone between the Amazon, the Cerrado and the Caatinga, whose thriving and diverse agriculture brings great benefits to the development of the state.

SBCS promotes Fertbrasil Congress: innovation in fertilizers and nutrients for tropical agriculture
The FertBrasil Congress is a promotion of the Brazilian Soil Science Society and will be held by Rede FertBrasil, in partnership with Embrapa and Esalq/USP in Campinas-SP, between June 11th and 13th, 2024. The event aims to be an important forum on the use and management of fertilizers and a space for scientific discussion about these technologies and the interaction between research and the market. The main theme will be “innovation in fertilizers and nutrients for tropical agriculture as numerous fertilizer technologies, adapted to tropical production systems, have emerged every year. Thus, the FertBrasil Congress will be the space for scientific discussion about these technologies and the interaction between research and the market, involving topics such as: organic-based fertilizers, special nitrogen fertilizers, new sources of phosphorus for Brazilian agriculture, bio-inputs applied to plant nutrition, in addition to the global and Brazilian scenario on fertilizers and issues related to the role of new technologies in the relationship between fertilizers and the environment.
