In this section, you will find updates on the progress of our research, new scientific discoveries, recent publications, events organized by the Network, and team achievements. This space is dedicated to sharing, in an accessible way, the results and milestones of our collective work, bringing science closer to society. Our goal is to share the progress and impacts of our initiatives, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and dialogue between researchers, the productive sector, and the broader community.

Members of the Minas Gerais Network on Biostimulants and Enhanced-Efficiency Fertilizers proudly participated in the XVII Workshop of the Graduate Program in Plant Biology at UFMG, an event that celebrates scientific advancement and highlights the creativity and dedication of young researchers!

On November 3rd and 4th, the UFMG campus became a hub of innovation, knowledge exchange, and inspiring discussions on the future of contemporary plant science. Among the featured presentations were “Effects of nanoparticles on the soil-millet (Pennisetum glaucum) system”, presented by PhD student Andreia Cristina Ferreira da Silva, and “Does the substance D-Ac106 stimulate the growth of Lactuca sativa under hydroponic cultivation?”, presented by MSc student Clara Queiroz Rosa.
Both studies reflect the commitment of the Minas Network to exploring innovative strategies for sustainable agriculture, plant physiology, and nanotechnology applications in agriscience. The event also featured roundtable discussions and student sessions that promoted collaboration among researchers and institutions, reinforcing the role of science as a driving force for sustainable development.
