Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Irrigation, Evapotranspiration, Orchard and Crop coefficient. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Olive trees and Olea. His Irrigation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crop yield and Lint.

In his study, Photosynthetically active radiation and Interception is inextricably linked to Canopy, which falls within the broad field of Orchard. His Crop coefficient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Canopy conductance, Greenhouse and Lysimeter. His work carried out in the field of Canopy conductance brings together such families of science as Drip irrigation and Stomatal conductance.

His most cited work include:

  • Yield Responses of a Mature Olive Orchard to Water Deficits (285 citations)
  • Evapotranspiration of a young irrigated olive orchard in southern Spain (155 citations)
  • The effects of regulated and continuous deficit irrigation on the water use, growth and yield of olive trees (155 citations)

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

Francisco Orgaz mainly focuses on Irrigation, Agronomy, Orchard, Transpiration and Evapotranspiration. The various areas that Francisco Orgaz examines in his Irrigation study include Field experiment, Agriculture, Water scarcity and Water supply. His research in Agronomy tackles topics such as Soil water which are related to areas like Helianthus annuus.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Canopy, Olive trees, Botany, Photosynthetically active radiation and Interception. His Transpiration research integrates issues from Water use, Yield and Irrigation management. Francisco Orgaz works mostly in the field of Evapotranspiration, limiting it down to concerns involving Mediterranean climate and, occasionally, Sunflower.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Irrigation (47.50%)
  • Agronomy (46.25%)
  • Orchard (33.75%)

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

  • Irrigation (47.50%)
  • Transpiration (31.25%)
  • Agronomy (46.25%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Irrigation, Transpiration, Agronomy, Orchard and Evapotranspiration. His Irrigation research incorporates themes from Water scarcity, Yield, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Soil water and Water supply. His work on Canopy conductance as part of general Transpiration research is frequently linked to Agricultural engineering, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Francisco Orgaz interconnects Drip irrigation, Almond tree and Soil volume in the investigation of issues within Canopy conductance. Francisco Orgaz conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Agronomy and Mathematics through his works. His work in Evapotranspiration addresses subjects such as Water balance, which are connected to disciplines such as Transplanting and Lysimeter.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Water use of irrigated almond trees when subjected to water deficits (21 citations)
  • OliveCan: A Process-Based Model of Development, Growth and Yield of Olive Orchards. (11 citations)
  • Transpiration from canopy temperature: Implications for the assessment of crop yield in almond orchards (9 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Transpiration, Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, Agronomy and Yield. His research integrates issues of Water scarcity and Water supply in his study of Evapotranspiration. His studies in Water supply integrate themes in fields like Water use, Water balance and Agriculture.

His Irrigation research overlaps with Management practices and Range. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Canopy. His Yield research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stomatal conductance and Stage.
