Clarence J. Swanton

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Agronomy

Clarence J. Swanton mainly investigates Weed, Agronomy, Weed control, Tillage and Crop. His work carried out in the field of Weed brings together such families of science as Phenology and Horticulture, Seedling. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Loam and Competition.

His Weed control study incorporates themes from Agricultural engineering, Zea mays and Cropping system. The concepts of his Tillage study are interwoven with issues in Cover crop, Agroforestry, Soil water and Plough. His research integrates issues of Population density and Crop rotation in his study of Crop yield.

His most cited work include:

• Integrated Weed Management: The Rationale and Approach (418 citations)
• The Critical Period of Weed Control in Grain Corn (Zea mays) (378 citations)
• Understanding maize–weed competition: resource competition, light quality and the whole plant (292 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Tillage and Crop. His Agronomy study typically links adjacent topics like Horticulture. He has included themes like Dry matter and Botany in his Horticulture study.

His Weed research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant ecology, Shade avoidance, Competition and Phenology. His Weed control study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glufosinate, Zea mays and Agriculture. His Tillage research focuses on subjects like Plough, which are linked to Water content.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (65.52%)
• Weed (45.21%)
• Weed control (36.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

• Agronomy (65.52%)
• Weed control (36.02%)
• Weed (45.21%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Weed control, Weed, Competition and Glyphosate. His work on Mesotrione, Yield and Seedling is typically connected to Far-red and Thiamethoxam as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Agriculture, Horticulture and Environmental planning in addition to Weed control.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry, Low nitrogen, Shade avoidance, Sowing and Tillage. The various areas that Clarence J. Swanton examines in his Competition study include Intraspecific competition and Botany. His study in Glyphosate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dicamba and Dimethenamid.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Weed Management in 2050: Perspectives on the Future of Weed Science (74 citations)
• Experimental Methods for Crop–Weed Competition Studies (69 citations)
• When too much isn’t enough: Does current food production meet global nutritional needs? (47 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Agriculture

Clarence J. Swanton mostly deals with Weed, Weed control, Competition, Agronomy and Botany. Clarence J. Swanton studies Weed, focusing on Anagallis arvensis in particular. His study in the field of Crop weed also crosses realms of Competition, Liberian dollar and Experimental methods.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Competition, concentrating on Intraspecific competition and intersecting with Phaseolus, Interspecific competition, Cultivar and Phenotypic plasticity. Much of his study explores Agronomy relationship to Low nitrogen. His work on Lignin and Environmental factor as part of general Botany research is often related to Phytochrome, Far-red and Phenylpropanoid, thus linking different fields of science.
