Guntur V. Subbarao mainly investigates Nitrification, Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Agriculture and Forage. His research investigates the connection with Nitrification and areas like Sorghum which intersect with concerns in Archaea. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrate and Leaching.

His study looks at the intersection of Rhizosphere and topics like Bioassay with Microcosm, Sowing, Hybrid, Nitrosomonas europaea and Exudate. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eco-efficiency, Greenhouse gas and Ecosystem services. Guntur V. Subbarao works mostly in the field of Forage, limiting it down to topics relating to Agroforestry and, in certain cases, Climate change, Crop livestock and Soil carbon.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Suppression of soil nitrification by plants (83 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Agronomy, Nitrification, Agriculture, Nitrate and Denitrification are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Nitrification inhibitors, Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification and Plant physiology. The Agriculture study combines topics in areas such as Forage, Greenhouse gas, Eco-efficiency and Ecosystem services.

His Nitrate research includes elements of Soil biology, Brachiaria, Leaching, Soil fertility and Environmental impact of agriculture. His Denitrification research incorporates elements of Nitrogen fixation and Nitrous oxide.
