Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Irrigation

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil water, Leaf area index, Soil science and Anthesis. In most of his Agronomy studies, his work intersects topics such as Evapotranspiration. His research investigates the connection with Soil water and areas like Canopy which intersect with concerns in Water potential.

His Leaf area index study deals with Potential evaporation intersecting with Row crop and Atmospheric sciences. His Soil science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shrinkage and Water content. His research in Cropping system intersects with topics in Decision support system and Systems engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • The DSSAT cropping system model (2348 citations)
  • Model for predicting evaporation from a row crop with incomplete cover (1762 citations)
  • Global climate change and US agriculture (536 citations)

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

Joe T. Ritchie focuses on Agronomy, Soil water, Soil science, Water content and Evapotranspiration. His research combines Leaching and Agronomy. His Leaching research incorporates themes from Fertilizer, Lysimeter and Nitrogen cycle.

The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology and Transpiration. His Crop simulation model research integrates issues from DSSAT and Irrigation. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cultivar, Leaf area index and Phenology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (47.14%)
  • Soil water (28.57%)
  • Soil science (12.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Agronomy (47.14%)
  • Evapotranspiration (10.71%)
  • Soil water (28.57%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Soil water, Crop simulation model and Fertilizer. His work on Cultivar, Phenology and Leaf area index as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Simulation modeling and Nutrient, bridging the gap between disciplines. Joe T. Ritchie usually deals with Evapotranspiration and limits it to topics linked to Atmospheric sciences and High yielding and Yield.

His research ties Photosynthetically active radiation and Soil water together. His Crop simulation model study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leaching and Root growth. His Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Surface runoff, Crop and Spatial variability.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Wheat Phasic Development (150 citations)
  • Efficient Water Use in Crop Production: Discussion on the Generality of Relations Between Biomass Production and Evapotranspiration (106 citations)
  • Simulation of root growth. (105 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Irrigation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop simulation model, Soil water, Evapotranspiration and Leaching. His Agronomy study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Mean squared error. Joe T. Ritchie has included themes like Agroforestry, Agricultural engineering and Root growth in his Crop simulation model study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthetically active radiation, Crop yield, Leaf area index and Crop in addition to Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Evapotranspiration brings together such families of science as Soil evaporation, Water use and Crop production. His Leaching research includes themes of Fertilizer and Spatial variability.
