Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Crop, Crop yield, Nutrient management and Fertilizer. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil water and Nutrient. His work in Crop addresses issues such as Soil fertility, which are connected to fields such as Dry season and Wet season.

His Nutrient management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cropping and Paddy field. His Cropping study incorporates themes from Agroforestry and Yield. His studies in Fertilizer integrate themes in fields like Soil horizon and Human fertilization.

His most cited work include:

  • Agroecosystems, Nitrogen-use Efficiency, and Nitrogen Management (1118 citations)
  • Meeting Cereal Demand While Protecting Natural Resources and Improving Environmental Quality (684 citations)
  • Nitrogen uptake, fixation and response to fertilizer N in soybeans: A review (545 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Agronomy, Fertilizer, Nutrient, Yield and Soil water are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Nutrient management and Soil fertility. The study incorporates disciplines such as Field experiment, Cropping, Soil organic matter, Soil test and Yield in addition to Fertilizer.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Cropping, concentrating on Agroforestry and frequently concerns with Agriculture, Plant nutrition and Agricultural engineering. His Nutrient research focuses on subjects like Paddy field, which are linked to Hydrology. The various areas that Achim Dobermann examines in his Yield study include Agricultural economics and Environmental quality.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (59.59%)
  • Fertilizer (30.14%)
  • Nutrient (24.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Agronomy (59.59%)
  • Agriculture (15.07%)
  • Fertilizer (30.14%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Achim Dobermann spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Agriculture, Fertilizer, Nutrient and Crop yield. His work in the fields of Crop, Yield and Tillage overlaps with other areas such as Simulation modeling and Yield. His studies deal with areas such as Productivity, Agroforestry, Natural resource economics and Agricultural economics as well as Agriculture.

His study in Fertilizer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nutrient management, Soil test, Yield and Paddy field. His work on Plant nutrition is typically connected to Bedrock as part of general Nutrient study, connecting several disciplines of science. He combines subjects such as Leaching, Irrigation management, Denitrification, Nitrate and Root system with his study of Crop yield.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rice yields in tropical/subtropical Asia exhibit large but opposing sensitivities to minimum and maximum temperatures (384 citations)
  • Improving nitrogen fertilization in rice by site-specific N management. A review (269 citations)
  • Estimating maize nutrient uptake requirements. (106 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Achim Dobermann mainly investigates Agronomy, Fertilizer, Crop yield, Simulation modeling and Nutrient. His work on Mean squared error expands to the thematically related Agronomy. His Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient management, Agriculture and Paddy field.

His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil nitrate, Crop, Cropping, Grain yield and Phaseolus. Achim Dobermann has included themes like Nitrogen management, Greenhouse gas and Water-use efficiency in his Crop rotation study. His Tillage research includes themes of Soil classification, Soil carbon, Soil water and Soil fertility.
