Johanna Döbereiner (1924 to 2000) was a Brazilian agronomist and a pioneer in soil biology. She was born in Ústí nad Labem in Czechoslovakia to a German Czech family and took her degree at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, then settled in Brazil and became a Brazilian citizen in 1956. Her early work studied Azospirillum and other bacteria that could be useful to Brazilian soil. She later encouraged soybean varieties that depend entirely on biological nitrogen fixation, so that many Brazilian soybean plantations are now supplied with nitrogen by rhizobia and use no nitrogen fertilizer. She was proposed for the Nobel Prize in the 1990s, and a biological resources center was named in her honour in 2017.
