  • Soil water (43.82%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Root system, Soil water, Shoot and Water use. His work deals with themes such as Plant physiology, Topsoil and Stomatal conductance, which intersect with Agronomy. His Root system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Anthesis, Grain yield, Nutrient and Adaptation.

His study looks at the relationship between Soil water and fields such as Irrigation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His studies in Shoot integrate themes in fields like Soil pH and Introgression. Jairo A. Palta focuses mostly in the field of Water use, narrowing it down to topics relating to Water-use efficiency and, in certain cases, Evapotranspiration.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Five decades of selection for yield reduced root length density and increased nitrogen uptake per unit root length in Australian wheat varieties (60 citations)
  • Five decades of selection for yield reduced root length density and increased nitrogen uptake per unit root length in Australian wheat varieties (60 citations)
  • ABA-Mediated Stomatal Response in Regulating Water Use during the Development of Terminal Drought in Wheat. (51 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Root system, Plant physiology, Water use and Soil water. His Agronomy research focuses on subjects like Stomatal conductance, which are linked to Abscisic acid. His Root system study incorporates themes from Anthesis, Shoot and Soil horizon.

His research on Anthesis also deals with topics like

  • Biomass which is related to area like Cultivar and Greenhouse,
  • Soil pH most often made with reference to Sowing. As a part of the same scientific study, Jairo A. Palta usually deals with the Plant physiology, concentrating on Crop and frequently concerns with Ecology, Resistance and Soil type. The concepts of his Water-use efficiency study are interwoven with issues in Evapotranspiration and Transpiration.
