Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Crop, Soil management, Soil water and Denitrification. His specific area of interest is Agronomy, where Daniel T. Walters studies Growing season. As part of one scientific family, Daniel T. Walters deals mainly with the area of Crop, narrowing it down to issues related to the Fertilizer, and often Soil horizon, Bioenergy and Panicle.

Daniel T. Walters combines subjects such as Life-cycle assessment, Environmental engineering, Biorefinery and Corn ethanol with his study of Soil management. His work on Soil texture and Loam as part of general Soil water research is frequently linked to Environmental chemistry, Aerobic denitrification and Incubation, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Denitrification study combines topics in areas such as Legume, Crop residue and Mineralization.

His most cited work include:

  • Agroecosystems, Nitrogen-use Efficiency, and Nitrogen Management (1118 citations)
  • Denitrification and the Dinitrogen/Nitrous Oxide Ratio as Affected by Soil Water, Available Carbon, and Nitrate (745 citations)
  • Meeting Cereal Demand While Protecting Natural Resources and Improving Environmental Quality (684 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil water, Crop and Crop rotation. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Crop residue and Agronomy. In general Fertilizer study, his work on Soil nitrate often relates to the realm of Yield, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Denitrification and Legume. Daniel T. Walters has researched Crop in several fields, including Weed, Soil organic matter, Grain yield, Phaseolus and Soil horizon. Daniel T. Walters works mostly in the field of Yield gap, limiting it down to topics relating to Sustainable agriculture and, in certain cases, Yield, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (77.46%)
  • Fertilizer (18.31%)
  • Soil water (16.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Agronomy (77.46%)
  • Fertilizer (18.31%)
  • Tillage (8.45%)

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

Daniel T. Walters mainly investigates Agronomy, Fertilizer, Tillage, Crop and Soil nitrate. His research integrates issues of Soil organic matter, Soil test and Soil series in his study of Agronomy. Daniel T. Walters interconnects Plough, Inorganic nitrogen, Loam, Subsoil and Human fertilization in the investigation of issues within Tillage.

As part of his studies on Crop, Daniel T. Walters often connects relevant subjects like Cropping. His study in Cropping system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroecosystem and Soil carbon. His work carried out in the field of Irrigation management brings together such families of science as Crop simulation model, Crop yield, Leaching, Denitrification and Root system.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Maize-N: A Decision Tool for Nitrogen Management in Maize (60 citations)
  • Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Irrigated Corn for Three Cropping Systems in Nebraska (55 citations)
  • Large-scale on-farm implementation of soil moisture-based irrigation management strategies for increasing maize water productivity (39 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil nitrate, Crop and Cropping are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy research overlaps with other disciplines such as Decision tool and Deficit irrigation. Decision tool overlaps with fields such as Nitrogen management, Crop rotation, Application methods, Tillage and Effi in his research.

His study of Deficit irrigation brings together topics like Irrigation management, Evapotranspiration, Water content, Surface irrigation and Water-use efficiency. His Irrigation management study deals with the bigger picture of Irrigation. His work deals with themes such as Phaseolus and Grain yield, which intersect with Soil nitrate.
