Almas Zaidi mainly focuses on Agronomy, Rhizobacteria, Shoot, Horticulture and Botany. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Nitrogen fixation, Rhizosphere and Sustainable agriculture. He combines subjects such as Sludge, Waste management, Soil contamination, Bioremediation and Soil fertility with his study of Rhizobacteria.

His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leghemoglobin and Dry matter. His Horticulture study deals with Mesorhizobium intersecting with Legume, Sowing and Azotobacter. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Phosphate.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms in sustainable agriculture — A review (541 citations)
  • Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in the remediation of metal contaminated soils (372 citations)
  • Plant growth promotion by phosphate solubilizing fungi – current perspective (272 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Rhizobacteria, Biotechnology, Nutrient and Nitrogen fixation. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Inoculation, Horticulture, Soil fertility, Microorganism and Rhizosphere. His Horticulture course of study focuses on Botany and Rhizobiaceae.

His Rhizobacteria research includes elements of Essential nutrient, Metal toxicity, Bioremediation and Siderophore. His Biotechnology research incorporates themes from Agriculture, Agrochemical, Crop production and Biofertilizer. The Nitrogen fixation study which covers Azotobacter that intersects with Mesorhizobium.

  • Nuclear chemistry (4.21%)
  • Metal toxicity (12.63%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Food science, Nuclear chemistry, Metal toxicity, Shoot and Environmental remediation. His Food science research focuses on subjects like Pesticide, which are linked to Viability assay, Rhizosphere, Azotobacter vinelandii and Nitrogen fixation. His biological study deals with issues like Bacterial growth, which deal with fields such as Metal ions in aqueous solution, Azotobacter and Zinc nitrate.

His Shoot research is within the category of Horticulture. His Environmental remediation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water, Rhizobacteria, Food chain, Food safety and Environmental chemistry. His Phytotoxicity research is under the purview of Agronomy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bacterial toxicity of biomimetic green zinc oxide nanoantibiotic: insights into ZnONP uptake and nanocolloid–bacteria interface (33 citations)
  • Effective Inhibition of Phytopathogenic Microbes by Eco-Friendly Leaf Extract Mediated Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) (17 citations)
  • Heavy metal mediated phytotoxic impact on winter wheat: oxidative stress and microbial management of toxicity by Bacillus subtilis BM2 (14 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Shoot, Food science, Zinc nitrate, Dry weight and Metallothionein. The study incorporates disciplines such as Catalase, Superoxide dismutase and Antioxidant in addition to Shoot. His work on Penicillium as part of general Food science research is frequently linked to Silver nanoparticle and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Zinc nitrate intersects with topics in Nuclear chemistry, Bacterial growth and Biofilm. Dry weight is a subfield of Horticulture that Almas Zaidi explores. In his papers, Almas Zaidi integrates diverse fields, such as Colloid and Intracellular.
