Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Colin J. Asher mainly investigates Agronomy, Nutrient, Phytotoxicity, Botany and Vigna. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil solution, Nutrient solution, Horticulture, Plant physiology and Soil pH. Colin J. Asher usually deals with Plant physiology and limits it to topics linked to Plant nutrition and Phosphate.

In his study, Cerium, Environmental chemistry and Soil science is strongly linked to Lanthanum, which falls under the umbrella field of Nutrient. His Phytotoxicity research integrates issues from Helianthus annuus, Zinc, Calcium and Arsenic. His work focuses on many connections between Vigna and other disciplines, such as Shoot, that overlap with his field of interest in Plant growth, Ecotoxicology and Cell wall.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of aluminum, OH: Al and P: Al molar ratios, and ionic strength on soybean root elongation in solution culture (197 citations)
  • pH optima for crop growth - Results of a flowing solution culture experiment with six species (181 citations)
  • Aluminium determination in soil solution. Ii. short-term colorimetric procedures for the measurement of inorganic monomeric aluminium in the presence of organic acid ligands (166 citations)

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

Agronomy, Horticulture, Nutrient, Botany and Plant nutrition are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Potassium and Plant physiology. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Lime and Dry matter.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Vigna, Soil water, Phosphorus, Zinc and Lanthanum in addition to Nutrient. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sulfur and Nuclear chemistry. As a part of the same scientific family, Colin J. Asher mostly works in the field of Plant nutrition, focusing on Calcium and, on occasion, Point of delivery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (45.70%)
  • Horticulture (29.80%)
  • Nutrient (21.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2012)?

  • Agronomy (45.70%)
  • Shoot (17.22%)
  • Botany (20.53%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Shoot, Botany, Horticulture and Plant nutrition. Colin J. Asher integrates several fields in his works, including Agronomy and Brachiaria. Colin J. Asher has researched Shoot in several fields, including Chlorosis, Vigna, Phytotoxicity and Perennial plant.

His Botany study often links to related topics such as Nutrient. As a part of the same scientific study, Colin J. Asher usually deals with the Horticulture, concentrating on Potassium and frequently concerns with Sodium, Colocasia esculenta and Convolvulaceae. His Plant nutrition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sulfur, Hydroponics, Calcium and Copper toxicity.

Between 2003 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Trace metal phytotoxicity in solution culture: a review (129 citations)
  • Toxic effects of Pb2+ on growth of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). (113 citations)
  • Effects of Lanthanum and Cerium on the Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Corn and Mungbean (80 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Oxygen

His primary scientific interests are in Shoot, Botany, Phytotoxicity, Nutrient and Vigna. His Shoot research is included under the broader classification of Agronomy. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Fabaceae, Lanthanum, Horticulture and Cerium.

His work deals with themes such as Trace element, Metal, Cadmium and Nuclear chemistry, which intersect with Phytotoxicity. He focuses mostly in the field of Nutrient, narrowing it down to topics relating to Speciation and, in certain cases, Phosphorus. His studies deal with areas such as Root growth, Apical dominance, Plant growth, Ecotoxicology and Cell wall as well as Vigna.
