  • 2016 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Horticulture

Frederick E. Below spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Dry weight, Hybrid, Fertilizer and Chlorophyll. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Biomass and Leaching. His study looks at the intersection of Dry weight and topics like Anthesis with Dry matter.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Zea mays, Genetic gain and Grain yield in addition to Fertilizer. His Chlorophyll study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Poaceae. His Poaceae research includes themes of Field experiment, Grain quality and Starch.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparison of corn leaf nitrogen concentration and chlorophyll meter readings (346 citations)
  • Nutrient Uptake, Partitioning, and Remobilization in Modern, Transgenic Insect-Protected Maize Hybrids (179 citations)
  • Variation in Seed Total Phosphorus, Phytic Acid, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, and Protein among Lines of Glycine max and G. soja1 (164 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Poaceae, Hybrid, Botany and Horticulture. He focuses mostly in the field of Agronomy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Photosynthesis and, in certain cases, Nitrogen assimilation. The concepts of his Poaceae study are interwoven with issues in Urea, Field experiment and Cultivar.

His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Fertility and Crop yield, which intersect with Hybrid. His Botany study deals with Metabolism intersecting with Point of delivery, Sucrose, Carbohydrate and Endosperm. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Sugar and In vitro.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (70.64%)
  • Poaceae (27.52%)
  • Hybrid (20.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (70.64%)
  • Fertilizer (14.68%)
  • Hybrid (20.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Hybrid, Yield and Grain yield. His studies link Genetic variation with Agronomy. Frederick E. Below combines subjects such as Crop yield, Horticulture and Nitrogen stress with his study of Genetic variation.

Frederick E. Below works mostly in the field of Fertilizer, limiting it down to topics relating to Sowing and, in certain cases, Animal science, as a part of the same area of interest. His work focuses on many connections between Grain yield and other disciplines, such as Plant growth, that overlap with his field of interest in Biotechnology. His Yield research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fungicide and Continuous corn.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessing Variation in US Soybean Seed Composition (Protein and Oil). (19 citations)
  • Yield Stability Differs in Commercial Maize Hybrids in Response to Changes in Plant Density, Nitrogen Fertility, and Environment (15 citations)
  • Assessing variation in maize grain nitrogen concentration and its implications for estimating nitrogen balance in the US North Central region (13 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Hybrid, Fertility and Plant density. Frederick E. Below has included themes like Stepwise regression and Multivariate statistics in his Agronomy study. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fungicide, Crop rotation and Sowing.

His Hybrid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Yield, Germplasm and Crop yield. Frederick E. Below integrates Fertility and Yield in his research.
