Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His main research concerns Agronomy, Crop, Sorghum, Drought tolerance and Crop residue. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Alfisol and Water content. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Climate change, Chlorophyll and Bt cotton.

The concepts of his Sorghum study are interwoven with issues in Crop productivity and Drought stress, Botany. His Drought tolerance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant physiology and Microbial inoculant. His work carried out in the field of Crop residue brings together such families of science as Soil management, Soil carbon, Fertilizer and Manure.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of microorganisms in adaptation of agriculture crops to abiotic stresses (324 citations)
  • Alleviation of drought stress effects in sunflower seedlings by the exopolysaccharides producing Pseudomonas putida strain GAP-P45 (303 citations)
  • Effect of plant growth promoting Pseudomonas spp. on compatible solutes, antioxidant status and plant growth of maize under drought stress (271 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Fertilizer and Sorghum. His study in Agronomy focuses on Crop yield in particular. His research in Agriculture intersects with topics in Livestock, Climate change and Agricultural economics.

His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Diameter at breast height, Natural resource, Rainfed agriculture, Eucalyptus and Leucaena. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Soil fertility. The Sorghum study which covers Crop that intersects with Drought tolerance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (48.08%)
  • Agriculture (24.36%)
  • Agroforestry (18.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Agronomy (48.08%)
  • Agriculture (24.36%)
  • Soil water (11.54%)

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

B. Venkateswarlu mainly focuses on Agronomy, Agriculture, Soil water, Agroforestry and Climate change. B. Venkateswarlu has included themes like Soil carbon, Crop residue and Vertisol in his Agronomy study. His research integrates issues of Cropping system and Alfisol in his study of Crop residue.

B. Venkateswarlu interconnects Weather and climate and Environmental planning in the investigation of issues within Agriculture. His Agroforestry research focuses on subjects like Rainwater harvesting, which are linked to Farm level, Soil classification, Sustainable agriculture, Extreme weather and Natural resource management. His work on Adaptive capacity, Vulnerability index and Adaptation strategies as part of general Climate change study is frequently connected to District level, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Effect of ten years of reduced tillage and recycling of organic matter on crop yields, soil organic carbon and its fractions in alfisols of semi arid tropics of southern India. (46 citations)
  • Impact of conservation agriculture practices on energy use efficiency and global warming potential in rainfed pigeonpea-castor systems (39 citations)
  • Response of C4 (maize) and C3 (sunflower) crop plants to drought stress and enhanced carbon dioxide concentration (31 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Agriculture, Rainfed agriculture, Crop residue and Tillage. His studies deal with areas such as Soil organic matter and Carbon dioxide as well as Agronomy. His study in the field of Adaptation strategies also crosses realms of District level.

His Rainfed agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Pennisetum, Soil quality, Sorghum, Livestock and Food security. The Crop residue study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon, Total organic carbon, Conventional tillage, Carbon sequestration and Alfisol. His Tillage study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organic matter, Crop yield, Greenhouse gas, No-till farming and Conservation agriculture.
