  • 2001 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

Frank Forcella mainly focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Seedling and Dormancy. Agronomy is often connected to Agriculture in his work. His Weed study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Conventional tillage, Crop and Arable land.

He combines topics linked to Sowing with his work on Weed control. His research investigates the connection between Germination and topics such as Soil water that intersect with issues in Microclimate. His study looks at the relationship between Seed dormancy and topics such as Water potential, which overlap with Growing degree-day.

His most cited work include:

  • Modeling seedling emergence (415 citations)
  • Environmental control of dormancy in weed seed banks in soil (414 citations)
  • Implications of weed seedbank dynamics to weed management (230 citations)

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

Frank Forcella focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Crop and Seedling. His research brings together the fields of Cuphea and Agronomy. Frank Forcella focuses mostly in the field of Weed, narrowing it down to matters related to Germination and, in some cases, Soil water.

Frank Forcella works mostly in the field of Weed control, limiting it down to topics relating to Agroforestry and, in certain cases, Agriculture and Cropping system, as a part of the same area of interest. In Crop, Frank Forcella works on issues like Cuphea viscosissima, which are connected to Temperate climate, Habit and Indeterminate growth. His biological study deals with issues like Water potential, which deal with fields such as Soil temperature.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (81.29%)
  • Weed (51.61%)
  • Weed control (32.90%)

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

  • Agronomy (81.29%)
  • Cover crop (6.45%)
  • Camelina (7.10%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Cover crop, Camelina, Weed control and Camelina sativa. His Agronomy study focuses mostly on Chenopodium, Fertilizer, Crop rotation and Tillage. His Weed control study incorporates themes from Weed and Organic farming.

In his papers, Frank Forcella integrates diverse fields, such as Weed and Relay. His work carried out in the field of Camelina sativa brings together such families of science as Yield and Cuphea, Cuphea viscosissima, Cuphea lanceolata. His work focuses on many connections between Cuphea viscosissima and other disciplines, such as Seedling, that overlap with his field of interest in Germination.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Economics and agronomics of relay-cropping pennycress and Camelina with Soybean in Minnesota (15 citations)
  • Reduced Potential for Nitrogen Loss in Cover Crop-Soybean Relay Systems in a Cold Climate. (14 citations)
  • Winter camelina seed yield and quality responses to harvest time (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Cover crop, Camelina sativa, Camelina and Crop. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Cuphea viscosissima and Pollinator. His Cover crop research focuses on Thlaspi arvense and how it relates to Agriculture, Cropping, Raphanus and Forage.

The Camelina sativa study combines topics in areas such as Cuphea, Cuphea lanceolata, Pollen, Pollination and Beneficial insects. His studies in Camelina integrate themes in fields like Secale and Sowing. His Crop study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Growing degree-day, Yield and Growing season.
