Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His primary areas of investigation include Irrigation, Agronomy, Water use, Water conservation and Water-use efficiency. His study looks at the relationship between Irrigation and topics such as Groundwater, which overlap with Water balance. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Dry season.

His work carried out in the field of Water conservation brings together such families of science as Water scarcity and Food security. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fertilizer, Soil management, Soil water, Water content and Paddy field in addition to Water-use efficiency. His work in Farm water addresses subjects such as Environmental engineering, which are connected to disciplines such as DNS root zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Field water management to save water and increase its productivity in irrigated lowland rice (837 citations)
  • Yield and water use of irrigated tropical aerobic rice systems (444 citations)
  • Effect of water-saving irrigation on rice yield and water use in typical lowland conditions in Asia (429 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Irrigation, Soil water, Water use and Water conservation. The Irrigation study which covers Water scarcity that intersects with Food security. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Water balance and Water table.

The Water use study combines topics in areas such as Paddy field and Agricultural economics. His Water conservation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydraulic engineering, Cropping system and Irrigation management. DNS root zone, Groundwater and Evapotranspiration is closely connected to Environmental engineering in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Farm water.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (48.84%)
  • Irrigation (41.09%)
  • Soil water (17.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2019)?

  • Agronomy (48.84%)
  • Crop yield (11.63%)
  • Irrigation (41.09%)

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

Bas A. M. Bouman mostly deals with Agronomy, Crop yield, Irrigation, Soil water and Crop. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Plant nutrition and Soil fertility. His Crop yield research includes elements of Fertilizer, Cultivar, Wet season, Water-use efficiency and Panicle.

His primary area of study in Irrigation is in the field of Farm water. His Farm water study combines topics in areas such as Water use and Water level. His research integrates issues of Control treatment, Tillage, Field plot and Crop production in his study of Soil water.

Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Uncertainties in Predicting Rice Yield by Current Crop Models Under a Wide Range of Climatic Conditions (232 citations)
  • Adoption and economics of alternate wetting and drying water management for irrigated lowland rice. (173 citations)
  • Impact of the alternate wetting and drying (AWD) water-saving irrigation technique: Evidence from rice producers in the Philippines (96 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Bas A. M. Bouman focuses on Agronomy, Crop yield, Irrigation, Panicle and Crop. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil classification and Nutrient. He combines subjects such as Yield, Soil water, Yield and Wet season with his study of Crop yield.

His Soil water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Root system and Water content. His study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Panel data, Plant nutrition, Data collection, Propensity score matching and Selection bias. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Range, Climate change, Climate model and Phenology.
