Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Irrigation

Jordi Marsal mostly deals with Irrigation, Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany and Prunus. His Irrigation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vine, Titratable acid, Phenology and Crop. Jordi Marsal brings together Agronomy and Mathematics to produce work in his papers.

His work on Fruit development as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Stage ii, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the connection with Botany and areas like Soil water which intersect with concerns in Leaf water, Annual growth cycle of grapevines and Animal science. His Prunus research integrates issues from Vegetative reproduction and Postharvest.

His most cited work include:

  • The use of midday leaf water potential for scheduling deficit irrigation in vineyards (156 citations)
  • Peach tree response to single and combined deficit irrigation regimes in deep soils (93 citations)
  • Peach tree response to single and combined regulated deficit irrigation regimes under shallow soils (90 citations)

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

Jordi Marsal focuses on Irrigation, Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany and Canopy. Jordi Marsal performs integrative Irrigation and Mathematics research in his work. In general Horticulture, his work in Prunus and PEAR is often linked to Thinning and Stage ii linking many areas of study.

His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Vine, Titratable acid and Postharvest. His Botany study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Soil water. His Canopy research incorporates themes from Water use, Lysimeter, Irrigation management and Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Irrigation (75.00%)
  • Horticulture (65.00%)
  • Agronomy (35.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Irrigation (75.00%)
  • Horticulture (65.00%)
  • Vineyard (11.67%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Irrigation, Horticulture, Vineyard, Phenology and Yield. Jordi Marsal works mostly in the field of Irrigation, limiting it down to topics relating to Canopy and, in certain cases, Irrigation scheduling and Irrigation management. In his works, Jordi Marsal performs multidisciplinary study on Horticulture and Stress level.

As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Vineyard, focusing on Agricultural engineering and, on occasion, Transpiration and Wine grape. His Phenology research focuses on Growing season and how it relates to Ripening, Viticulture and Fruit tree. His Yield research focuses on Titratable acid and how it connects with Dry matter.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Seasonal evolution of crop water stress index in grapevine varieties determined with high-resolution remote sensing thermal imagery (59 citations)
  • Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards (47 citations)
  • Vineyard irrigation scheduling based on airborne thermal imagery and water potential thresholds (44 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Agronomy

Jordi Marsal mainly focuses on Canopy, Irrigation, Spatial variability, Vineyard and Phenology. In his papers, Jordi Marsal integrates diverse fields, such as Spatial variability, Irrigation scheduling, Spatial heterogeneity and Stage. His Irrigation scheduling research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agricultural engineering and Horticulture.

Spatial heterogeneity overlaps with fields such as Fruit tree, Growing season, Agronomy and Saturn Peach in his research. His Stage study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Irrigation management.
