Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Hari C. Sharma focuses on Agronomy, Pest control, PEST analysis, Biotechnology and Cultivar. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Water scarcity and Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Busseola fusca, Helicoverpa and Integrated pest management in his study of Pest control.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Antibiosis, Biological pest control and Trichome in addition to PEST analysis. He has researched Cultivar in several fields, including Helicoverpa armigera and Gossypium. His Helicoverpa armigera study results in a more complete grasp of Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms of plant defense against insect herbivores (697 citations)
  • The melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae: a review of its biology and management. (200 citations)
  • Applications of biotechnology for crop improvement: prospects and constraints (136 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Sorghum, Helicoverpa armigera, PEST analysis and Horticulture. His study in Cultivar, Integrated pest management, Germplasm, Resistance and Infestation are all subfields of Agronomy. His study looks at the relationship between Integrated pest management and fields such as Biotechnology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Sorghum research includes elements of Cecidomyiidae, Midge, Panicle and Shoot. His study in Helicoverpa armigera is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bacillus thuringiensis, Noctuidae and Point of delivery. His work carried out in the field of PEST analysis brings together such families of science as Antibiosis, Plant breeding, Biological pest control and Veterinary medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.30%)
  • Sorghum (37.81%)
  • Helicoverpa armigera (33.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Helicoverpa armigera (33.22%)
  • Agronomy (52.30%)
  • Horticulture (26.15%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Helicoverpa armigera, Agronomy, Horticulture, Sorghum and PEST analysis. His Helicoverpa armigera research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Bacillus thuringiensis, Superoxide dismutase and Midgut. His study on Cultivar, Sowing and Parasitic Weeds is often connected to Compendium and Plant virus as part of broader study in Agronomy.

The Infestation research Hari C. Sharma does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Proanthocyanidin, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Sorghum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shoot, Resistance and Heritability. The concepts of his PEST analysis study are interwoven with issues in Aphid, Etiella zinckenella and Integrated pest management.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecology and genomics of an important crop wild relative as a prelude to agricultural innovation. (67 citations)
  • Plant defence against herbivory and insect adaptations (42 citations)
  • Compendium of chickpea and lentil diseases and pests. (37 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Hari C. Sharma focuses on Helicoverpa armigera, Agronomy, Botany, Sorghum and Protease. The various areas that Hari C. Sharma examines in his Helicoverpa armigera study include Lipid peroxidation, Mitochondrion, Pharmacology and Imidacloprid. Hari C. Sharma regularly ties together related areas like Plant defense against herbivory in his Agronomy studies.

He focuses mostly in the field of Botany, narrowing it down to matters related to Streptomyces and, in some cases, Chromatography, Metabolite, Silica gel and Column chromatography. His research in Sorghum intersects with topics in Inflorescence, Shoot, Trichome and Heritability. His studies in Protease integrate themes in fields like Toxin, Microbiology, Bacillus thuringiensis, PMSF and Cry1Ac.
