CV
Yasmine Toledo studied Agricultural Sciences at The Federal University of Maranhão, Brazil. In bachelor thesis, she worked on the use of decomposed Babassu (Attalea Speciosa mart.) stem -a species of palm tree native to the Amazon Rainforest- as substrate for the production of papaya seedlings. Afterwards she started her master studies in Horticulture at the School of Agricultural Sciences of the São Paulo State University (FCA/UNESP), Brazil. In her master thesis, she worked on the agronomic biofortification of sweet potato with Selenium (Se) and its impacts on the chemical and proximate composition of sweet potato roots. Since March 2021, Yasmine works as a doctoral student on the effects of basalt powder as a soil remineralizer to improve soil fertility, yield and nutritional quality of soybean and maize flour intercropped with Urochloa ruziziensis.Degrees
