Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Allelopathy, Weed, Poaceae, Botany and Lolium rigidum. His Allelopathy study is concerned with the larger field of Agronomy. James Pratley works mostly in the field of Agronomy, limiting it down to concerns involving Bioassay and, occasionally, Sowing and Germination.

The Poaceae study combines topics in areas such as Cultivar and Seedling. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Shoot and Phytotoxicity, intersects with other areas such as Phenolic acid. The concepts of his Lolium rigidum study are interwoven with issues in Resistance and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Crop cultivars with allelopathic capability. (179 citations)
  • Resistance to glyphosate in Lolium rigidum. I. Bioevaluation (129 citations)
  • Laboratory screening for allelopathic potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum) accessions against annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) (122 citations)

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

James Pratley mainly investigates Agronomy, Allelopathy, Weed, Lolium rigidum and Weed control. His Agronomy study often links to related topics such as Horticulture. His Allelopathy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phytotoxicity, Cultivar, Poaceae and Shoot.

His Weed study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agriculture, Bioassay, Competition and Oryza sativa. His research in Lolium rigidum focuses on subjects like Glyphosate, which are connected to Herbicide resistance. He interconnects Chemical control and Agroforestry in the investigation of issues within Weed control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (58.75%)
  • Allelopathy (40.62%)
  • Weed (28.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Agronomy (58.75%)
  • Allelopathy (40.62%)
  • Agriculture (16.88%)

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

James Pratley focuses on Agronomy, Allelopathy, Agriculture, Lolium rigidum and Weed control. His work on Weed, Pasture and Brassica as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Microbial inoculant and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, thus linking different fields of science. Allelopathy is frequently linked to Cultivar in his study.

His study in the field of Agricultural education is also linked to topics like Gender balance, Project commissioning, Environmental ethics and Contradiction. Within one scientific family, James Pratley focuses on topics pertaining to Acetolactate synthase under Lolium rigidum, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Glyphosate, Tillage, Soil pH and Herbicide resistance. James Pratley combines subjects such as Agroforestry and Resistance with his study of Weed control.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Big data and machine learning for crop protection (42 citations)
  • A quarter of a century of monitoring herbicide resistance in Lolium rigidum in Australia (7 citations)
  • Weed management in canola (Brassica napus L): a review of current constraints and future strategies for Australia (6 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

James Pratley mostly deals with Weed control, Agronomy, Lolium rigidum, Resistance and Allelopathy. His research in Weed control intersects with topics in Cropping and Agroforestry, Crop protection. His Lolium rigidum research is included under the broader classification of Weed.

His studies in Weed integrate themes in fields like Medicago sativa, Bioassay, Shoot, Lolium and Tillage. The subject of his Allelopathy research is within the realm of Germination. His research integrates issues of Glyphosate, Soil pH, Agriculture and Herbicide resistance in his study of Acetolactate synthase.
