The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Agriculture
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Glyphosate, Weed, Botany, Pesticide resistance and Agronomy. His Glyphosate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Shikimic acid, Lolium multiflorum and Shoot biomass. His study explores the link between Weed and topics such as Biotechnology that cross with problems in Stewardship, Resistance, Crop, Imazapic and Oryza sativa.

His study looks at the intersection of Pesticide resistance and topics like Canola with Herbicide resistance, Ecosystem and In vivo. His In vivo study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biochemistry and Enzyme. His work on Weed control, Crop rotation and Sowing as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Filbert, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Imidazolinones: Potent Inhibitors of Acetohydroxyacid Synthase (476 citations)

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

Dale L. Shaner mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Atrazine, Weed control and Weed. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Metabolism and Chromosomal translocation. His research in Weed control focuses on subjects like Simazine, which are connected to Acetolactate synthase.

His studies deal with areas such as Integrated pest management, Biotechnology and Resistance as well as Weed. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glyphosate and Herbicide resistant in addition to Resistance. In general Glyphosate study, his work on Amaranthus palmeri often relates to the realm of Genetically modified crops, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Review: Confirmation of Resistance to Herbicides and Evaluation of Resistance Levels (120 citations)

  • The future for weed control and technology. (98 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Agriculture
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Resistance, Biotechnology, Weed, Weed control and Glyphosate. His Acetolactate synthase research extends to Resistance, which is thematically connected. Dale L. Shaner interconnects Enzyme assay, Biochemistry and Cellulose biosynthesis in the investigation of issues within Biotechnology.

His study in Weed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agriculture, Agroforestry and Environmental planning. His Weed control study incorporates themes from Atrazine, Simazine, Stewardship, Pesticide resistance and Food security. His study in the fields of Amaranthus palmeri under the domain of Glyphosate overlaps with other disciplines such as Genetically modified crops.
