Agrisus was founded in 2001 by Dr.
Fernando Penteado Cardoso and
his family when their fertilizer
company was sold. A significant
resource was allocated to the
foundation.
The family was first responsible for
the administration.
Luiz de Queiroz Agricultural Study
Foundation, (FEALQ), in Piracicaba
(SP) is nowadays responsible for
the operation of Agrisus, with
support of a private company –
Conplant Consulting.
As an autonomous entity with a solid
reputation, the goal was to attract people
from academia, research and farming
concerned about soil fertility as a basic
aspect of sustainable agriculture.
Education is the main strategy to gather
people around the mission

State of the art of zero tillage in Brazil
Field observations
Geo referencing of sample
Percentage crop residue cover
Region 1 is the region with best cover
identification of residues present
Residues are different depending on the region
topography of the ground
Regions 3 and 4 are big farms flat ground
Observation for signs of erosion
observation of compression signals
Soil survey on soil P status on 1171 sites cultivated with soybean and corn in all regions of Brazil in 1999.
Gerneral observation - most of the cultivated areas are not anymore poor soil for P
experiments and observations taken forward in the JAE located in Saint Ignatius – PR, from 2006, the most integrated with dairy farming, found the 2,000 liters of milk production per ha with cows treated exclusively on pasture.
For meat more than 350 kg/ha of live weight gain.
In both cases, milk and meat, the results were obtained in 100 days, until September, followed by a recovery period of grass to produce about 4,000 kg/ha of dry matter capable of forming a good coverage in subsequent no-till soybeans
