Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Weed, Agronomy, Weed control, Crop and Crop yield. David E. Johnson has researched Weed in several fields, including Germination and Seedling. David E. Johnson interconnects Adaptation, Ecosystem and Water stress in the investigation of issues within Germination.

His Weed control research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry and Tillage, Minimum tillage. His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Striga, Cyperus difformis and Cyperus rotundus. His study explores the link between Crop and topics such as Irrigation that cross with problems in Dry weight, Transplanting, Panicle, Competition and Seeding.

His most cited work include:

  • Weed Management in Direct‐Seeded Rice (451 citations)
  • The role of seed ecology in improving weed management strategies in the tropics (181 citations)
  • Weed management in rice‐based cropping systems in Africa (124 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Germination and Seedling. As part of his studies on Agronomy, David E. Johnson frequently links adjacent subjects like Upland rice. His study in Weed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Irrigation, Dry weight, Competition, Cyperus rotundus and Poaceae.

The various areas that he examines in his Weed control study include Transplanting and Agroforestry. His studies in Germination integrate themes in fields like Ecology and Dry matter. The Seedling study which covers Crop residue that intersects with Eleusine indica.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (62.50%)
  • Weed (56.25%)
  • Weed control (32.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (62.50%)
  • Cropping (7.50%)
  • Crop (21.25%)

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

David E. Johnson mostly deals with Agronomy, Cropping, Crop, Productivity and Agroforestry. His study involves Weed and Weed control, a branch of Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transplanting, Dry season and Wet season in addition to Weed.

His Crop study incorporates themes from Tillage and Sowing. His Productivity research includes elements of Poverty, Poverty reduction and Natural resource economics. His Agroforestry research includes themes of Seedbed, Food security, Irrigation and Natural resource management.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Preventive Weed Management in Direct-Seeded Rice: Targeting the Weed Seedbank (11 citations)
  • Climate Ready- Technologies: Combating Poverty by Raising Productivity in Rainfed Rice Environments in Asia (8 citations)
  • New records of very high nitrous oxide fluxes from rice cannot be generalized for water management and climate impacts (7 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Poverty, Productivity, Ecosystem, Natural resource economics and Poverty reduction are his primary areas of study. His Poverty investigation overlaps with other areas such as Business and Flooding.
