Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Bertrand Ney mostly deals with Agronomy, Sativum, Pisum, Nitrogen fixation and Legume. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Photosynthesis and Agriculture. His Pisum research focuses on Cultivar and how it connects with Point of delivery.

His Nitrogen fixation research incorporates elements of Biomass, Ecophysiology, Phenology and Sowing. His Sowing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vegetative reproduction, Plant physiology, Biomass partitioning, Shoot and Nitrate. His study in Legume is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lupinus and Assimilation.

His most cited work include:

  • The challenge of improving nitrogen use efficiency in crop plants: towards a more central role for genetic variability and quantitative genetics within integrated approaches (872 citations)
  • Grain legume seed filling in relation to nitrogen acquisition: A review and prospects with particular reference to pea (100 citations)
  • A simplified conceptual model of carbon/nitrogen functioning for QTL analysis of winter wheat adaptation to nitrogen deficiency (95 citations)

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

Bertrand Ney mainly focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Crop and Sativum. Bertrand Ney combines subjects such as Photosynthesis and Canopy with his study of Agronomy. In the subject of general Horticulture, his work in Cultivar, Fructification and Dry weight is often linked to Pulp and Cell division, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Crop research includes elements of PEST analysis and Agriculture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Adaptation and Biotechnology. His Sativum study also includes fields such as

  • Pisum and related Dry matter,
  • Nitrogen fixation that intertwine with fields like Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (64.94%)
  • Botany (27.27%)
  • Horticulture (20.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2015)?

  • Agronomy (64.94%)
  • Agriculture (11.69%)
  • Crop (15.58%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Agriculture, Crop, Botany and Cropping. His Agronomy research focuses on Fungicide in particular. His Agriculture research includes themes of Field, Saccharum and Saccharum officinarum.

His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass, Agroforestry, Biofuel and Crop yield. His Phyllochron, Plant growth and Brassica study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Plasticity and Fatty acid composition. His work carried out in the field of Cropping brings together such families of science as Competition and Abiotic component.

Between 2011 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Current knowledge on plant/canopy architectural traits that reduce the expression and development of epidemics (31 citations)
  • Defining and designing plant architectural ideotypes to control epidemics (29 citations)
  • Crop architecture and crop tolerance to fungal diseases and insect herbivory. Mechanisms to limit crop losses (28 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Agriculture, Ideotype, Ecology and Architectural engineering. His studies deal with areas such as PEST analysis and Microclimate as well as Agriculture. His PEST analysis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agronomy, Resistance, Crop, Herbivore and Plant physiology.

His work often combines Plant physiology and Biotic stress studies. Bertrand Ney has researched Microclimate in several fields, including Canopy, Crop protection, Environmental resource management and Interception. Combining a variety of fields, including Architectural engineering, Simulation modeling, Context, Cropping and Control, are what the author presents in his essays.
