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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Crop, Canola, Photosynthesis and Horticulture. While working in this field, Bao-Luo Ma studies both Agronomy and Plastic film. The study incorporates disciplines such as Canopy, Leaf area index, Crop yield, Yield and Root system in addition to Crop.

Bao-Luo Ma works mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, limiting it down to concerns involving Animal science and, occasionally, Nitrate reductase. His Horticulture research includes elements of Absorption of water and Genotype. His Fertilizer study incorporates themes from Temperate climate, Growing season and Soil nitrogen.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessment of red-edge vegetation indices for crop leaf area index estimation (57 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Bao-Luo Ma mostly deals with Crop, Agronomy, Canola, Resistance and Leaf area index. His work deals with themes such as Regression analysis and Red edge, Vegetation, which intersect with Crop. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chlorophyll and Chlorophyll concentration.

His Canola research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global warming, Soil texture and Crop yield. The various areas that Bao-Luo Ma examines in his Leaf area index study include Crop species and Canopy. The concepts of his Cultivar study are interwoven with issues in Nitrogen fertilizer, Fertilizer, N application and Yield.
