What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Agronomy
- Fertilizer
- Crop rotation
His main research concerns Conservation agriculture, Agroforestry, Agronomy, Crop rotation and Crop residue.
His study in Conservation agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Waterlogging and Soil fertility.
As part of his studies on Agroforestry, Christian Thierfelder often connects relevant areas like Crop yield.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Soil quality and Soil retrogression and degradation in addition to Agronomy.
The various areas that Christian Thierfelder examines in his Conventional tillage study include No-till farming and Minimum tillage.
His research in Tillage intersects with topics in Mulch-till and Surface runoff.
His most cited work include:
- Effects of conservation agriculture techniques on infiltration and soil water content in Zambia and Zimbabwe (270 citations)
- Adapting maize production to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (207 citations)
- Does conservation agriculture deliver climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration in tropical agro-ecosystems? (166 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Christian Thierfelder mainly focuses on Conservation agriculture, Agronomy, Agroforestry, Tillage and Conventional tillage.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including No-till farming, Soil fertility, Crop residue, Crop yield and Crop rotation.
His Crop rotation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cambisol and Land degradation.
His biological study deals with issues like Soil water, which deal with fields such as Infiltration and Productivity.
His Agroforestry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil carbon, Soil quality, Food security and Soil retrogression and degradation.
His Tillage research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mulch-till, Mulch, Fertilizer and Seeding.

Christian Thierfelder mostly deals with Conservation agriculture, Agronomy, Agroforestry, No-till farming and Cropping.
Christian Thierfelder has included themes like Cropping system, Crop, Soil health, Soil structure and Tillage in his Conservation agriculture study.
His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil water, Crop residue and Chlorophyll.
Christian Thierfelder conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Agroforestry and Carbon sequestration through his research.
His work in No-till farming addresses issues such as Sustainable agriculture, which are connected to fields such as Crop rotation, Statistics and Monocropping.
Christian Thierfelder combines subjects such as Soil fertility, Intercropping and Food security with his study of Cropping.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Effects of maize residue and mineral nitrogen applications on maize yield in conservation-agriculture-based cropping systems of Southern Africa (8 citations)
- Impacts of conservation agriculture on soil structure and hydraulic properties of Malawian agricultural systems. (7 citations)
- Bridging the disciplinary gap in conservation agriculture research, in Malawi. A review (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agronomy
- Fertilizer
- Intensive farming
Conservation agriculture, Agronomy, Crop residue, Population and Crop diversity are his primary areas of study.
The concepts of his Conservation agriculture study are interwoven with issues in Green manure, Chlorophyll and Environmental planning.
His work carried out in the field of Green manure brings together such families of science as Cropping, Strip farming, Intercropping, Crop yield and Cropping system.
In most of his Cropping system studies, his work intersects topics such as Soil fertility.
His Chlorophyll study combines topics in areas such as Mulch, Fertilizer, Growing season and Soil retrogression and degradation.
Christian Thierfelder integrates many fields in his works, including Population, Pest control, Conventional tillage and Species evenness.
