Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Cynthia A. Grant mainly focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil water, Cadmium and Tillage. Her Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil classification and Loam. The Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Canola, Field experiment, Leaching and Chernozem.

Her Soil water research focuses on subjects like Environmental chemistry, which are linked to Urease. Her research integrates issues of No-till farming, Crop residue and Water content in her study of Tillage. Her Crop yield study incorporates themes from Cropping system and Growing season.

Her most cited work include:

  • Selection and breeding of plant cultivars to minimize cadmium accumulation. (333 citations)
  • The importance of early season phosphorus nutrition (300 citations)
  • CADMIUM ACCUMULATION IN CROPS (292 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil water, Canola and Tillage. Cynthia A. Grant undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Agronomy and Cadmium through her works. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil classification, Loam, Leaching and Human fertilization.

While the research belongs to areas of Canola, Cynthia A. Grant spends her time largely on the problem of Green manure, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Hordeum vulgare and Crop rotation. The various areas that Cynthia A. Grant examines in her Tillage study include Coated urea and Chernozem. Her research in Crop yield intersects with topics in Nutrient management and Dry matter.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (78.57%)
  • Fertilizer (47.02%)
  • Soil water (28.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Agronomy (78.57%)
  • Canola (21.43%)
  • Fertilizer (47.02%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Canola, Fertilizer, Soil water and Crop. Her study ties her expertise on No-till farming together with the subject of Agronomy. Her Canola study also includes fields such as

  • Legume together with Sativum and Vicia faba,
  • Brassica and related Bulk soil and Soil management.

Her studies deal with areas such as Yield, Grain yield, China, Loam and Tillage as well as Fertilizer. When carried out as part of a general Soil water research project, her work on Soil pH, Soil fertility and Soil test is frequently linked to work in Organic matter, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her research investigates the link between Human fertilization and topics such as Shoot that cross with problems in Growing season and Dry matter.

Between 2013 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Negative and positive contributions of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal taxa to wheat production and nutrient uptake efficiency in organic and conventional systems in the Canadian prairie (50 citations)
  • Legumes can reduce economic optimum nitrogen rates and increase yields in a wheat–canola cropping sequence in western Canada (48 citations)
  • Rapid determination of soil organic matter quality indicators using visible near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (47 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Cynthia A. Grant spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Canola, Soil water, Fertilizer and Green manure. Cynthia A. Grant combines subjects such as Soil classification and Soil fertility with her study of Agronomy. Her work carried out in the field of Soil water brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry and Ammonium sulfate.

Cynthia A. Grant focuses mostly in the field of Fertilizer, narrowing it down to matters related to Hordeum vulgare and, in some cases, Brassica and Sativum. Her work deals with themes such as Legume, Field pea, Crop, Crop rotation and Crop yield, which intersect with Green manure. Cynthia A. Grant has included themes like No-till farming and Plant nutrition in her Crop rotation study.
