Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil water, Crop rotation, Tillage and No-till farming. F. Selles has included themes like Loam, Soil test and Chernozem in his Agronomy study. The concepts of his Soil test study are interwoven with issues in Soil type, Humus, Soil fertility and Fertilizer.

His research on Soil water focuses in particular on Soil organic matter. His studies deal with areas such as Soil quality, Cropping, Water use, Nutrient and Soil horizon as well as Crop rotation. His biological study deals with issues like Monoculture, which deal with fields such as Mulch-till, Strip-till, Green manure, Straw and Human fertilization.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-term effects of tillage and crop rotations on soil organic C and total N in a clay soil in southwestern Saskatchewan (183 citations)
  • Tillage effects on carbon fluxes in continuous wheat and fallow-wheat rotations. (155 citations)
  • Carbon sequestration in a Brown Chernozem as affected by tillage and rotation (128 citations)

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

F. Selles focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Crop rotation, Soil water and Chernozem. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Cropping, Loam and Soil organic matter. The Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Field experiment, Spring and Manure.

His Crop rotation research incorporates themes from Perennial plant, Monoculture, Leaching, Nitrate and Green manure. His Soil water research integrates issues from Organic matter and Crop residue. In his work, Soil type and Humus is strongly intertwined with Soil test, which is a subfield of Chernozem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (88.37%)
  • Fertilizer (34.88%)
  • Crop rotation (32.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2013)?

  • Agronomy (88.37%)
  • Monoculture (10.47%)
  • Fertilizer (34.88%)

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

F. Selles mainly investigates Agronomy, Monoculture, Fertilizer, Crop rotation and Manure. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water and Soil fertility. As a member of one scientific family, F. Selles mostly works in the field of Crop rotation, focusing on Perennial plant and, on occasion, Fodder and Pasture.

He has researched Manure in several fields, including Nitrous oxide and Ammonia volatilization from urea. His study focuses on the intersection of Soil quality and fields such as Bulk soil with connections in the field of Chernozem. His work is dedicated to discovering how Chernozem, Tillage are connected with Cropping and other disciplines.

Between 2006 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Thirty-seven years of soil nitrogen and phosphorus fertility management shapes the structure and function of the soil microbial community in a Brown Chernozem (66 citations)
  • Glyphosate associations with cereal diseases caused by Fusarium spp. in the Canadian Prairies (52 citations)
  • Adaptation of alternative pulse and oilseed crops to the semiarid Canadian Prairie : Seed yield and water use efficiency (47 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Soil quality, Poaceae, Glyphosate and Fungi imperfecti. F. Selles is interested in Water-use efficiency, which is a field of Agronomy. His Water-use efficiency study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Botany, Temperate climate, Cropping, Water use and Crop.

His Cropping research includes elements of Canola, Sativum and Brassica. In his study, Chernozem is strongly linked to Bulk soil, which falls under the umbrella field of Soil quality. His Poaceae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pesticide, Cochliobolus sativus, Cultivar and Fusarium.
