François Gastal

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Botany

François Gastal focuses on Agronomy, Crop, Agriculture, Festuca arundinacea and Botany. He studies Agronomy, focusing on Vegetative reproduction in particular. The various areas that François Gastal examines in his Crop study include Leaf area index, Fertilizer, Crop yield and Nitrogen cycle.

François Gastal interconnects Cropping, Forage, Biomass and Yield in the investigation of issues within Crop yield. His work on Water scarcity and Nutrient management as part of general Agriculture research is frequently linked to Farm water and Deficit irrigation, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work is dedicated to discovering how Festuca arundinacea, Shoot are connected with Photosynthesis, Human fertilization, Nitrogen fertilizer, Perennial plant and Transpiration and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

• N uptake and distribution in crops: an agronomical and ecophysiological perspective (548 citations)
• N Uptake and Distribution in Plant Canopies (457 citations)
• Diagnosis tool for plant and crop N status in vegetative stage Theory and practices for crop N management (366 citations)

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

François Gastal spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Festuca arundinacea, Botany, Crop and Forage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthesis, Agriculture and Canopy in addition to Agronomy. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Dry matter and Nitrogen cycle.

As part of the same scientific family, François Gastal usually focuses on Festuca arundinacea, concentrating on Growing season and intersecting with Interception. His work on RuBisCO and Lolium perenne as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Elongation, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Crop research also works with subjects such as

• Yield most often made with reference to Crop yield,
• Weed control which connect with Competition.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (60.82%)
• Festuca arundinacea (23.71%)
• Botany (18.56%)

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

• Agronomy (60.82%)
• Grassland (9.28%)
• Grazing (7.22%)

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

Agronomy, Grassland, Grazing, Forage and Agriculture are his primary areas of study. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Soil biology and Organic matter. His studies deal with areas such as Perennial plant, Crop rotation and Festuca arundinacea as well as Forage.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Shoot and Festuca arundinacea. His study looks at the intersection of Agriculture and topics like Agroforestry with Cropping, Sustainability and Green manure. His Crop research includes themes of Weed control and Weed.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Water use efficiency in perennial forage species: Interactions between nitrogen nutrition and water deficit (26 citations)
• How variable are non-linear developmental responses to temperature in two perennial forage species? (14 citations)
• Short-term effects of defoliation intensity on sugar remobilization and N fluxes in ryegrass. (11 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Forage, Festuca arundinacea, Perennial plant and Crop. His study in Forage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Water-use efficiency, Evapotranspiration, Shoot and Transpiration. François Gastal combines subjects such as Grassland and Temperate climate with his study of Festuca arundinacea.
