Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Rhizosphere, Siderophore, Agronomy and Microbiology. His Botany research incorporates elements of Rhizobia, Cajanus, Inoculation and Root nodule. His work carried out in the field of Rhizosphere brings together such families of science as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Germination and Macrophomina phaseolina.

His studies deal with areas such as Rhizobacteria and Fusarium oxysporum as well as Macrophomina phaseolina. As a part of the same scientific study, Dinesh Kumar Maheshwari usually deals with the Agronomy, concentrating on Pseudomonas and frequently concerns with Arachis, Microbial inoculant and Agar plate. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient and Chitinase.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacillus strains isolated from rhizosphere showed plant growth promoting and antagonistic activity against phytopathogens. (233 citations)
  • Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) with multiple plant growth promoting traits in stress agriculture: Action mechanisms and future prospects (138 citations)
  • Solubilization of insoluble inorganic phosphates by a soil-inhabiting fungus Fomitopsis sp. PS 102 (109 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Rhizosphere, Rhizobacteria, Horticulture and Agronomy. His Botany research integrates issues from Rhizobia, 16S ribosomal RNA, Rhizobium and Root nodule. The concepts of his Rhizosphere study are interwoven with issues in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shoot, Brassica and Siderophore.

His Siderophore research includes themes of Pseudomonas, Microbiology and Macrophomina phaseolina. His research integrates issues of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Biofertilizer in his study of Rhizobacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Nutrient and Ecosystem as well as Agronomy.

  • Botany (28.29%)
  • Rhizosphere (22.37%)
  • Rhizobacteria (19.08%)

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

  • Nutrient (8.55%)
  • Horticulture (19.08%)
  • Rhizobacteria (19.08%)

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

Dinesh Kumar Maheshwari mainly investigates Nutrient, Horticulture, Rhizobacteria, Food science and Agronomy. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nitrogen fixation, Root nodule, Fertilizer and Phosphate. His Rhizobacteria study introduces a deeper knowledge of Rhizosphere.

Dinesh Kumar Maheshwari has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil pH and Ecosystem. His Biological pest control study deals with Pseudomonas intersecting with Siderophore. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Ensifer adhaerens and 16S ribosomal RNA.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) with multiple plant growth promoting traits in stress agriculture: Action mechanisms and future prospects (138 citations)
  • Inoculation of siderophore producing rhizobacteria and their consortium for growth enhancement of wheat plant (26 citations)
  • Zinc solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus megaterium) with multifarious plant growth promoting activities alleviates growth in Capsicum annuum L. (20 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Agriculture
  • Fungus

His primary areas of study are Rhizobacteria, Food science, Nutrient, Zinc and Cow dung. His research in Rhizobacteria intersects with topics in Vigna, Shoot, Horticulture and Germination. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Field trial, Bacillus altitudinis and Crop.

His Germination study incorporates themes from Biological pest control, Fusarium solani and Pseudomonas. His Nutrient research includes themes of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Abiotic component. His Phosphate study typically links adjacent topics like Siderophore.
