Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Mycorrhiza, Glomus, Botany and Horticulture. Agronomy and Rootstock are frequently intertwined in his study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Salinity, Soil salinity in addition to Mycorrhiza.

His Glomus research is within the category of Inoculation. As part of one scientific family, John A. Menge deals mainly with the area of Botany, narrowing it down to issues related to the Colonization, and often Obligate. He frequently studies issues relating to Loam and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • ROOT EXUDATION IN RELATION TO SUPPLY OF PHOSPHORUS AND ITS POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO MYCORRHIZAL FORMATION (300 citations)
  • PHOSPHORUS CONCENTRATIONS IN PLANTS RESPONSIBLE FOR INHIBITION OF MYCORRHIZAL INFECTION (285 citations)
  • MYCORRHIZAL DEPENDENCY OF SEVERAL CITRUS CULTIVARS UNDER THREE NUTRIENT REGIMES (193 citations)

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

John A. Menge mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Glomus and Inoculation. His Botany study incorporates themes from Soil water and Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Loam, Soil salinity, Mycorrhiza and Persea.

His studies deal with areas such as Chlamydospore, Fertilizer and Citrange as well as Glomus. He usually deals with Inoculation and limits it to topics linked to Rootstock and Cultivar. His Spore research integrates issues from Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Germination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (47.30%)
  • Horticulture (43.24%)
  • Agronomy (36.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2012)?

  • Botany (47.30%)
  • Horticulture (43.24%)
  • Phytophthora cinnamomi (10.81%)

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

John A. Menge mainly focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Mulch and Agronomy. His Botany research includes elements of Glomalin and Phytophthora citrophthora. The various areas that John A. Menge examines in his Horticulture study include Microbial ecology and Microbial population biology.

John A. Menge combines subjects such as Zoospore and Soil water with his study of Phytophthora cinnamomi. His work on Compost as part of general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Time frame, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research in Fungus intersects with topics in Glomus, Monoculture and Dark septate endophyte.

Between 1999 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Association of Cellulytic Enzyme Activities in Eucalyptus Mulches with Biological Control of Phytophthora cinnamomi. (47 citations)
  • Disturbance changes arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal phenology and soil glomalin concentrations but not fungal spore composition in montane rainforests in Veracruz and Chiapas, Mexico (44 citations)
  • Biological control of Phytophthora root rot of avocato with microorganisms grown in organic mulches (30 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Root rot, Mulch, Horticulture and Cellulase. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intraspecific competition and Dark septate endophyte. John A. Menge has included themes like Trichoderma harzianum, Biological pest control, Rice hulls, Persea and Phytophthora in his Root rot study.

His Mulch research is under the purview of Agronomy. His Metalaxyl study in the realm of Horticulture connects with subjects such as Fatty acid. John A. Menge interconnects Phycomycetes, Mycelium and Soil horizon in the investigation of issues within Phytophthora cinnamomi.
