Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

Emerson D. Nafziger mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Sowing, Tillage and Crop. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Soil carbon and Agronomy. His Soil carbon research incorporates elements of Soil quality, Conventional tillage, Mulch-till, No-till farming and Cropping system.

He combines subjects such as Surface runoff and Manure with his study of Soil water. His Sowing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zea mays and Hybrid. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Irrigation and Yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Concepts and Rationale for Regional Nitrogen Rate Guidelines for Corn (170 citations)
  • Strengths and Limitations of Nitrogen Rate Recommendations for Corn and Opportunities for Improvement (148 citations)
  • Selection and Characterization of a Carrot Cell Line Tolerant to Glyphosate (123 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Tillage, Sowing, Crop yield and Soil water. His work deals with themes such as Soil organic matter and Soil carbon, which intersect with Agronomy. The various areas that Emerson D. Nafziger examines in his Tillage study include No-till farming, Fertilizer and Crop residue.

His Sowing study incorporates themes from Field experiment, Irrigation and Crop. His research integrates issues of Cropping and Bioenergy in his study of Crop yield. His study in the field of Soil pH and Bulk density also crosses realms of Phosphorus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (73.33%)
  • Tillage (19.17%)
  • Sowing (13.33%)

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

  • Agronomy (73.33%)
  • Soil organic matter (9.17%)
  • Crop (9.17%)

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

Emerson D. Nafziger mainly investigates Agronomy, Soil organic matter, Crop, Crop rotation and Tillage. His study in Soil properties extends to Agronomy with its themes. The concepts of his Soil organic matter study are interwoven with issues in Soil carbon, Predictability, Growing season and Human fertilization.

His Crop rotation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil quality and Soil health. His Tillage research incorporates themes from No-till farming and Soil water. His Sowing study combines topics in areas such as Fertilizer and Yield.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Strengths and Limitations of Nitrogen Rate Recommendations for Corn and Opportunities for Improvement (148 citations)
  • Assessing causes of yield gaps in agricultural areas with diversity in climate and soils (65 citations)
  • Multivariate assessment of soil quality indicators for crop rotation and tillage in Illinois (45 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

Agronomy, Sowing, Tillage, Yield and Crop yield are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Soil organic matter and Soil properties. His study on Sowing also encompasses disciplines like

  • Irrigation which connect with Cropping, Soil type, Soil water and Yield gap,
  • Growing season which intersects with area such as Leaching, N management, Zea mays and Red edge.

His Tillage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of No-till farming and Crop rotation. His No-till farming research includes themes of Minimum tillage and Conventional tillage. His research investigates the connection between Yield and topics such as Crop that intersect with issues in Survey data collection.
