Veridiana Victoria Rossetti (1917 - 2010) was a Brazilian agronomist and the first woman in Brazil with a degree in agronomy to practise the profession.

She became a world authority on citrus diseases, was a recipient of several national and international awards, and is considered to have made a major contribution to the Brazilian economy and the lives of farmers by helping to reduce the losses experienced by the orange industry in the country.

[1] Victoria Rossetti, as she signed herself, and liked to be called, was born in Santa Cruz das Palmeiras in São Paulo state in Brazil on 15 October 1917.

With the emergence of the Citrus tristeza virus in Brazil, she gave priority in her work to the need to develop resistant rootstock.

In 1961, she was involved with a scientific cooperation programme with the Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA) of France to look at citrus viroids.

[2][3][4][5] Additionally, Rossetti taught postgraduate classes at several universities and worked as a consultant on problems related to citrus diseases faced by other Brazilian states, as well as Mexico, Peru, and Argentina.
