Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Irrigation
  • Fertilizer

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Crop, Population, Tillage and Irrigation. Jagadish Timsina performs integrative Agronomy and Mathematics research in his work. He works mostly in the field of Tillage, limiting it down to topics relating to Soil structure and, in certain cases, Mulch-till, Strip-till, Conventional tillage and Minimum tillage, as a part of the same area of interest.

His study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fertilizer and Sowing. The concepts of his Nutrient management study are interwoven with issues in Soil organic matter, Crop residue, Soil quality and Mineralization. The various areas that Jagadish Timsina examines in his Food security study include Biomass, Cropping system, Productivity and Anthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Productivity and management of rice–wheat cropping systems: issues and challenges (549 citations)
  • Crop residue management for nutrient cycling and improving soil productivity in rice-based cropping systems in the tropics (299 citations)
  • Productivity and sustainability of the rice-wheat cropping system in the indo-gangetic plains of the Indian subcontinent: Problems, opportunities, and strategies (206 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop, Irrigation, Fertilizer and Sowing. His Cultivar, Tillage, Cropping system and Crop yield study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Mathematics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study on Conventional tillage is often connected to Population as part of broader study in Tillage.

His Crop study which covers Yield that intersects with DSSAT. His Irrigation research incorporates themes from Loam, Water table and Drainage. His studies deal with areas such as Soil classification, Nutrient management, Plant nutrition and Soil fertility as well as Fertilizer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (73.98%)
  • Crop (28.46%)
  • Irrigation (22.76%)

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

  • Agronomy (73.98%)
  • Crop (28.46%)
  • Conservation agriculture (13.01%)

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

Jagadish Timsina mostly deals with Agronomy, Crop, Conservation agriculture, Cropping system and Cropping. In his study, Tillage is inextricably linked to No-till farming, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Dry matter, Crop residue and Straw.

His work in Cropping system tackles topics such as Agroforestry which are related to areas like Organic farming, Land degradation and Intensive farming. His Cropping research integrates issues from Weed control and Weed. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Water use, Crop yield and Saline water.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Can Organic Sources of Nutrients Increase Crop Yields to Meet Global Food Demand (45 citations)
  • Editorial: Impacts of COVID-19 on agricultural and food systems worldwide and on progress to the sustainable development goals. (38 citations)
  • Yields, Soil Health and Farm Profits under a Rice-Wheat System: Long-Term Effect of Fertilizers and Organic Manures Applied Alone and in Combination (38 citations)

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

  • Irrigation
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Jagadish Timsina mainly investigates Agronomy, Cropping system, Conservation agriculture, Irrigation and Cropping. His study connects Saline water and Agronomy. Jagadish Timsina has researched Irrigation in several fields, including Dry matter and Crop.

His Cropping research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rural poverty and Livelihood. The Crop yield study combines topics in areas such as Leaching, Conventional tillage, Soil management, Crop rotation and No-till farming. His Agroforestry research includes elements of Land degradation, Agricultural productivity and Organic farming.
