Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Herbicide resistance and Acetolactate synthase. His research on Agronomy often connects related areas such as Gene flow. His studies deal with areas such as Cropping system, Tillage, Resistance and Fertilizer as well as Weed.

His Weed control research includes elements of Pesticide resistance, Pesticide, Agroforestry and Biotechnology. His Acetolactate synthase research incorporates elements of Mutation, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genotype and Bromoxynil. As a member of one scientific family, Hugh J. Beckie mostly works in the field of Canola, focusing on Brassica and, on occasion, Hybrid, Pollen and Raphanus raphanistrum.

His most cited work include:

  • Herbicide-Resistant Weeds: Management Tactics and Practices1 (270 citations)
  • Herbicide cross resistance in weeds (270 citations)
  • Hybridization between transgenic Brassica napus L. and its wild relatives: Brassica rapa L., Raphanus raphanistrum L., Sinapis arvensis L., and Erucastrum gallicum (Willd.) O.E. Schulz (233 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Herbicide resistance and Crop. His research related to Canola, Resistance, Avena fatua, Glyphosate and Herbicide resistant might be considered part of Agronomy. His Weed research incorporates themes from Cropping, Foxtail, Pesticide resistance, Pesticide and Acetolactate synthase.

While the research belongs to areas of Weed control, Hugh J. Beckie spends his time largely on the problem of Agroforestry, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Crop rotation. His work carried out in the field of Herbicide resistance brings together such families of science as Chemical control, Horticulture and Herbicide resistant crops. His Crop research focuses on Tillage and how it connects with Fertilizer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (67.33%)
  • Weed (44.00%)
  • Weed control (28.67%)

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

  • Agronomy (67.33%)
  • Weed (44.00%)
  • Resistance (20.67%)

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

Hugh J. Beckie spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Weed, Resistance, Herbicide resistance and Glyphosate. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Competition. His Weed study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Weed control, Predation and Arable land.

His Resistance study incorporates themes from Agroforestry, Gene flow and Integrated pest management. His studies in Herbicide resistance integrate themes in fields like Biotechnology, Thistle, Salsola and Scoparia. His Glyphosate study combines topics in areas such as Paraquat and Acetolactate synthase.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Opportunities and challenges for harvest weed seed control in global cropping systems. (44 citations)
  • Herbicide Resistance Management: Recent Developments and Trends. (24 citations)
  • Rotations and mixtures of soil-applied herbicides delay resistance. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Agronomy, Weed, Glyphosate, Resistance and Weed control are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study is mostly concerned with Trifluralin, Crop, Herbicide resistance and Scoparia. His Herbicide resistance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Germination and Acetolactate synthase.

His Glyphosate research integrates issues from Genetically modified crops, Agriculture, Gene flow and Propagule. The Resistance study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry and Pollen. Many of his studies on Weed control involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Cropping.
