• Assisting all aspects of Nursery & Greenhouse operations.
• Control of all systems of sowing, germination, grafting, healing, organize plants orders.
• Assist with irrigation and the whole growth process.
• Greenhouse Operations with some sowing and grading machinery.
• Planted, cultivated and harvested tomatoes.

• Collaborated closely with the production team, resulting in improved efficiency and timely delivery of products to market.
• Prepared soil by tilling and aerating to create suitable conditions for planting.
• Conducted regular field scouting activities to identify potential disease or pest outbreaks early on.
• Planted seeds and seedlings in designated areas to ensure proper growth.
• Monitored plant health for signs of disease or pests and promptly reported issues.
• Assisted with harvesting by gathering mature crops and preparing for transport.
• Driving small tractors and machinery used for planting, fertilizing and harvesting of potato crops.

• Conduct plant tissue culture experiments including micropropagation for various plant species.
• Developed a Scientific Initiation Scholarship the Project: “Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum(lib.) De Bary:

Variability and sensitivity to fungicides”.

• Cultivation activities in PDA medium of the isolates; and data collection of the experiment on the formation of mycelial compatibility groups among the isolates.
• Manage laboratory workflows, including preparation of culture media and maintenance of sterile environments
• Document experimental procedures and results, contributing to technical reports and publications.

• Conducted Projects: Reduction of fungicide use in bean genotypes with partial resistance to white mold.
• Developed detail-oriented and sustainable projects in the research area that will help rural producers in the commercial market.
• Planning, installation, conduction and evaluation of experiments in the field, greenhouse and laboratory.
• Evaluating the possibility of reducing the number of fungicide applications to control this disease with the use of a cultivar with partial resistance to white mold; and foliar diseases (anthracnose, angulate and rust)
• Conducting of genetic improvement projects for beans, development of bean cultivars using conventional breeding techniques, crossing practice, evaluation of plant architecture and productivity.

• Developed a scientific Initiation - Project: “Management of nitrogen fertilization of quality vegetables (horticulture).
• Responsible for helping in the research objective: Evaluate the influence of nitrogen doses applied in top dressing.
• Conduct the Work Plan: Taking soil samples, preparing the area, fertilizing the planting and make topdressing, treatments with doses of nitrogen.
• Follow up the culture in the field and possible analyses in the laboratory.
