Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Tillage and Population. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Pulmonary surfactant and Water content. The concepts of his Weed study are interwoven with issues in Cropping, Agriculture and Crop yield.

His Cropping research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crop rotation and Integrated pest management. His work in Weed control addresses subjects such as Agroforestry, which are connected to disciplines such as Sowing. He studied Tillage and Perennial plant that intersect with Biomass, Cultural control and Woody plant.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of Tillage on Vertical Distribution and Viability of Weed Seed in Soil (248 citations)
  • Implications of weed seedbank dynamics to weed management (230 citations)
  • Influence of tillage systems on weed population dynamics and management in corn and soybean in the Central USA (222 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Tillage and Agroforestry. His study in Foxtail, Setaria faberi, Seedling, Sowing and Zea mays are all subfields of Agronomy. He interconnects Lambsquarters, Compost and Horticulture in the investigation of issues within Foxtail.

Douglas D. Buhler applies his multidisciplinary studies on Weed and Population in his research. In his research, Agricultural productivity is intimately related to Integrated pest management, which falls under the overarching field of Weed control. The study incorporates disciplines such as Setaria, Plough and Cultural control in addition to Tillage.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (69.16%)
  • Weed (52.34%)
  • Weed control (42.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2020)?

  • Agronomy (69.16%)
  • Weed (52.34%)
  • Weed control (42.06%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Foxtail and Manure. His study on Sowing and Tillage is often connected to Amata as part of broader study in Agronomy. As a part of the same scientific study, Douglas D. Buhler usually deals with the Tillage, concentrating on Plough and frequently concerns with Animal science.

His Setaria faberi study, which is part of a larger body of work in Weed, is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Agriculture, Natural enemies, Crop yield and Site specific management in his study of Weed control. His Manure research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil fertility and Compost.

Between 2000 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • 50th Anniversary—Invited Article: Challenges and opportunities for integrated weed management (175 citations)
  • Emergence and persistence of seed of velvetleaf, common waterhemp, woolly cupgrass, and giant foxtail (75 citations)
  • Weed Seed Bank Dynamics During a Five-Year Crop Rotation1 (71 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Douglas D. Buhler mainly focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Foxtail, Amata and Compost. In general Agronomy study, his work on Plough, Tillage and Perennial plant often relates to the realm of Weibull distribution and Weather data, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Weed research incorporates themes from Soil temperature, Weed control, Water potential and Seedling.

His Weed control research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Integrated pest management, Environmental planning and Cropping, Agriculture. He has included themes like Soil conditioner, Shoot, Manure, Biomass and Minimum tillage in his Compost study. His Manure study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter and Soil fertility.
