1994 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

Craig C. Sheaffer focuses on Agronomy, Forage, Perennial plant, Fodder and Medicago sativa. His is involved in several facets of Agronomy study, as is seen by his studies on Cover crop, Legume, Dry matter, Annual plant and Yield. His study in Forage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cultivar, Red Clover and Lotus corniculatus.

His Perennial plant research includes themes of Bromus inermis, Crop and Native plant. His Fodder research focuses on subjects like Green manure, which are linked to Mollisol, Nitrogen fixation, Organic fertilizer and Organic farming. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hay and Biofuel feedstock in addition to Medicago sativa.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought Effects on Perennial Forage Legume Yield and Quality (124 citations)
  • Weed suppression by annual legume cover crops in no-tillage corn (119 citations)
  • Nitrogen Utilization from Fertilizer and Legume Residues in Legume‐Corn Rotations1 (104 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Forage, Perennial plant, Dry matter and Cultivar. His work in Legume, Grazing, Yield, Crop and Medicago sativa are all subfields of Agronomy research. He has researched Forage in several fields, including Hay and Fodder.

His work carried out in the field of Perennial plant brings together such families of science as Biomass, Monoculture, Panicum virgatum and Agroforestry. His Dry matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Loam and Sowing. His Loam study combines topics in areas such as Field experiment and Cropping system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (79.72%)
  • Forage (35.31%)
  • Perennial plant (19.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (79.72%)
  • Forage (35.31%)
  • Perennial plant (19.93%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Forage, Perennial plant, Animal science and Cultivar. In his research, Management effects is intimately related to Biomass, which falls under the overarching field of Agronomy. His Forage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dry matter, Yield and Grazing.

His Perennial plant study incorporates themes from Monoculture, Fertilizer, Bioenergy, Intercropping and Nutrient. Craig C. Sheaffer focuses mostly in the field of Animal science, narrowing it down to topics relating to Feces and, in certain cases, Lignin and Manure. The concepts of his Cultivar study are interwoven with issues in Grain yield and Seeding.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Establishment and Function of Cover Crops Interseeded into Corn (43 citations)
  • Reduced nitrate leaching in a perennial grain crop compared to maize in the Upper Midwest, USA (29 citations)
  • Maintaining grain yields of the perennial cereal intermediate wheatgrass in monoculture v. bi-culture with alfalfa in the Upper Midwestern USA (15 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Forage, Perennial plant, Perennial grain and Cultivar. His work on Crop, Plant growth and Nitrogen fertilizer is typically connected to Production and Function as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Forage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Yield and Grazing.

The Perennial plant study combines topics in areas such as Intercropping and Nutrient. His research integrates issues of Monoculture, Legume and Bioenergy in his study of Nutrient. His Cultivar research incorporates themes from Food grade, Loam and Panicum virgatum.
