About us
The Nucleus of Studies and Development on Technology of Application - NEDTA - of Crop Protection Products is the realization of a collective desire from the participants in the phytosanitary and domisanitary treatment research area, more specifically on application technology of the Department of Crop Protection at UNESP, Campus Jaboticabal – SP. The focus of NEDTA is the correct placing of crop protection products on the envisaged targets, when and if necessary and through necessary manner, in economically way and with minimal risk of impacts on human health and to the environment. Therefore we perform works mainly in research and development, but also corresponding to the partnerships with diverse visitors from research institutes, other universities, secondary schools and further private companies. We also organizes and carries out works of agricultural and university extension, through courses, lectures, field days and improvement and guidance visits, at various levels of the productive and educational sector of society. Since the beginning, NEDTA shows its purpose and intends to be an element of contribution for sustainable development of Brazilian society, primarily directed to the controversial and lacking in studies phytosanitary treatment branch.
