Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Agronomy, Botany, Verticillium dahliae, Microbiology and Rhizobacteria. George Lazarovits has included themes like Nitrification and Pseudomonas putida in his Agronomy study. George Lazarovits interconnects Rhizosphere, Inoculation, Horticulture and Delftia in the investigation of issues within Botany.

He combines subjects such as Soil test, Verticillium wilt, Soil pH, Fungi imperfecti and Animal science with his study of Verticillium dahliae. George Lazarovits has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Passalora fulva, Cell wall and Mycelium. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant production, Biotechnology, Plant growth, Dry weight and Solanaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Suppressing soil-borne diseases with residue management and organic amendments (391 citations)
  • Growth Enhancement and Developmental Modifications of in Vitro Grown Potato (Solanum tuberosum spp. tuberosum) as Affected by a Nonfluorescent Pseudomonas sp. (187 citations)
  • Ammonia and Nitrous Acid from Nitrogenous Amendments Kill the Microsclerotia of Verticillium dahliae. (161 citations)

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

Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Natural enemies and Biological pest control are his primary areas of study. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water and Soil pH. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Colonization, Microbiology, Burkholderia phytofirmans, Rhizosphere and Soil microbiology.

His Rhizosphere research includes themes of Nitrogen fixation, Diazotroph and Azospirillum lipoferum. His studies in Natural enemies integrate themes in fields like Greenhouse crops, Biopesticide, Microbial ecology, Weed control and Soil fungi. His studies deal with areas such as Pest control, Agroforestry, Biotechnology and Integrated pest management as well as Biological pest control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (43.33%)
  • Horticulture (24.44%)
  • Botany (23.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (43.33%)
  • Botany (23.89%)
  • Horticulture (24.44%)

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

George Lazarovits mainly focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Rhizosphere and Biofertilizer. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil organic matter, Soil water, Colonization and Microbial population biology. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Proteobacteria, Microbial ecology and Burkholderia phytofirmans.

His work on Verticillium as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Sinorhizobium, Physics and Plating, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Rhizosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pyrosequencing, Rhizobium, Crop and Phyllosphere. His Biofertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobacteria, Microbiology and Pseudomonas.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bacterial populations in juvenile maize rhizospheres originate from both seed and soil (106 citations)
  • Impact of swapping soils on the endophytic bacterial communities of pre-domesticated, ancient and modern maize (48 citations)
  • Genetic, physiological and biochemical characterization of Bacillus sp. strain RMB7 exhibiting plant growth promoting and broad spectrum antifungal activities. (35 citations)

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

  • Fungus
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

George Lazarovits focuses on Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Botany, Biofertilizer and Rhizobacteria. His research in Agronomy is mostly concerned with Weed control. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Plant hormone and Microbial ecology.

The Biofertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Pythium irregulare, Aspergillus flavus, Microbiology and Pseudomonas. The concepts of his Rhizobacteria study are interwoven with issues in Lipopeptide, Rhizoctonia solani and Strain. His work deals with themes such as Verticillium dahliae, Growing season, Mustard seed, Fumigation and Fish emulsion, which intersect with Soil water.
