Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Horticulture, Botany, Olea, Irrigation and Olive trees. His research investigates the link between Horticulture and topics such as Fruit set that cross with problems in Nitrogen phosphorus and Human fertilization. He works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to concerns involving Sucrose and, occasionally, Mediterranean climate, Sugar and Starch.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Vegetative reproduction, Agronomy and Biennial bearing in addition to Olea. His Irrigation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Canopy, Yield, Growing season and Orchard. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Olive trees, concentrating on Oleaceae and frequently concerns with Mechanization and Vegetable oil.

His most cited work include:

  • Trichoderma biocontrol of Colletotrichum acutatum and Botrytis cinerea and survival in strawberry (137 citations)
  • Standard methods for pollination research with Apis mellifera (110 citations)
  • Influence of time of harvest and maturity index on olive oil yield and quality (108 citations)

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

Arnon Dag mostly deals with Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Irrigation and Cultivar. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Pollen and Pollination. His work on Honey bee, Apidae, Nectar and Pollinator as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Polyunsaturated fatty acid, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wastewater and Agriculture, Intensive farming. His research integrates issues of Nutrient, Salinity, Leaching and Orchard in his study of Irrigation. Arnon Dag combines subjects such as Rootstock, Pollenizer, Crop yield and Ripening with his study of Cultivar.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (43.88%)
  • Botany (30.22%)
  • Agronomy (24.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (43.88%)
  • Irrigation (22.30%)
  • Cultivar (19.42%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Irrigation, Cultivar, Human fertilization and Fertigation. His studies deal with areas such as Nectar secretion and DNS root zone as well as Horticulture. His study on Irrigation is covered under Agronomy.

His Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Simmondsia chinensis and Water productivity. His Human fertilization research includes elements of Photosynthesis, Crop, Productivity, Aril and Yield. His Botany study focuses on Pollinator in particular.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-term irrigation with reclaimed wastewater: Implications on nutrient management, soil chemistry and olive (Olea europaea L.) performance (28 citations)
  • Significance of proper nitrogen fertilization for olive productivity in intensive cultivation (13 citations)
  • Sustainable Management of Olive Orchard Nutrition: A Review (7 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Irrigation, Agronomy, Botany, Vegetative reproduction and Horticulture. His study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Salinity and Leaching. His study involves Orchard and Cover crop, a branch of Agronomy.

His work in the fields of Botany, such as Eucalyptus, Pollinator, Brassicaceae and Pollination, intersects with other areas such as Callus formation. The Vegetative reproduction study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Olive trees, Intensive farming and Human fertilization. His study in the field of Hass, Cultivar and Rootstock is also linked to topics like Nutritional status.
