Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Fertilizer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Poaceae, Biofortification, Manganese and Human fertilization. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Animal science and Plant physiology. His Poaceae research incorporates themes from Surface irrigation, Plant nutrition and Transpiration.

His work in Biofortification addresses subjects such as Wheat flour, which are connected to disciplines such as Phytic acid and Fertilizer. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Human nutrition and Zinc deficiency. His Shoot research includes themes of Calcareous, Crop yield, Soil fertility and Irrigation.

His most cited work include:

  • Silicon Decreases Transpiration Rate and Conductance from Stomata of Maize Plants (167 citations)
  • Silicon Improves Water Use Efficiency in Maize Plants (145 citations)
  • Influence of long-term nitrogen fertilization on micronutrient density in grain of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (137 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Shoot, Fertilizer, Biofortification and Animal science. Agronomy connects with themes related to Plant physiology in his study. His work deals with themes such as Dry weight, Calcareous, Straw and Soil horizon, which intersect with Shoot.

He has included themes like Phytic acid, Greenhouse and Eutrophication in his Fertilizer study. His work focuses on many connections between Biofortification and other disciplines, such as Zinc deficiency, that overlap with his field of interest in Human nutrition. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wheat grain and Winter wheat.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (70.51%)
  • Shoot (30.77%)
  • Fertilizer (24.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Fertilizer (24.36%)
  • Biofortification (21.79%)
  • Agronomy (70.51%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Fertilizer, Biofortification, Agronomy, Shoot and Animal science. His Fertilizer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Yield, Agricultural science and Human fertilization. Chunqin Zou works mostly in the field of Biofortification, limiting it down to topics relating to Wheat grain and, in certain cases, Winter wheat, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil management, Production system and Pepper. Chunqin Zou has researched Shoot in several fields, including Dry weight, Calcareous and Field experiment. His studies in Animal science integrate themes in fields like Grain yield, Leaching and Hybrid.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Simultaneous Biofortification of Wheat with Zinc, Iodine, Selenium, and Iron through Foliar Treatment of a Micronutrient Cocktail in Six Countries. (25 citations)
  • The effects of controlled release urea on maize productivity and reactive nitrogen losses: A meta-analysis. (25 citations)
  • Zinc Uptake, Translocation, and Remobilization in Winter Wheat as Affected by Soil Application of Zn Fertilizer. (14 citations)
