Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Fertilizer

Jorge A. Delgado mainly investigates Agronomy, Leaching, Denitrification, Soil water and Nitrous oxide. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrification, Lysimeter, Surface runoff, No-till farming and Cation-exchange capacity. The various areas that Jorge A. Delgado examines in his Leaching study include Agricultural engineering and Nitrate.

His Agricultural engineering study also includes

  • Nutrient most often made with reference to Site specific management,
  • Conservation Reserve Program which intersects with area such as Cover crop. His work in the fields of Oxisol overlaps with other areas such as Climatology. His research investigates the connection with Environmental engineering and areas like Air quality index which intersect with concerns in Agricultural productivity and Agriculture.

His most cited work include:

  • USING WINTER COVER CROPS TO IMPROVE SOIL AND WATER QUALITY (566 citations)
  • CH4 and N2O fluxes in the Colorado shortgrass steppe: 1. Impact of landscape and nitrogen addition (203 citations)
  • Phosphorylation of OmpR by the osmosensor EnvZ modulates expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli (202 citations)

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

Jorge A. Delgado mainly focuses on Agronomy, Agriculture, Leaching, Nutrient and Soil conservation. Agronomy connects with themes related to Soil water in his study. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water quality, Sustainability and Environmental resource management.

Jorge A. Delgado interconnects Environmental engineering, Crop rotation, Denitrification, Agricultural engineering and Cropping system in the investigation of issues within Leaching. His research investigates the link between Nutrient and topics such as Soil fertility that cross with problems in Soil management. Jorge A. Delgado combines subjects such as Water conservation and Soil quality with his study of Cover crop.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (37.40%)
  • Agriculture (29.77%)
  • Leaching (15.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (37.40%)
  • Agriculture (29.77%)
  • Agroforestry (9.16%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Soil conservation and Agricultural productivity. He has included themes like No-till farming and Nitrogen management in his Agronomy study. In general Agriculture, his work in Food security is often linked to Business linking many areas of study.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Human fertilization, Fertilizer is strongly linked to Nutrient. His biological study deals with issues like Surface runoff, which deal with fields such as Leaching. In his research, Soil water and Soil organic matter is intimately related to Water quality, which falls under the overarching field of Leaching.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Emerging and Established Technologies to Increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Cereals (39 citations)
  • Nitrogen Management to Protect Water Resources (28 citations)
  • Big Data Analysis for Sustainable Agriculture on a Geospatial Cloud Framework (22 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Agriculture, Nitrogen management, Stover and No-till farming. His studies link Nutrient with Agronomy. His Agriculture research includes themes of Cover crop and Biodiversity.

The Nitrogen management study combines topics in areas such as Water resource management, Nitrogen fertilizer, Environmental protection, Water resources and Crop productivity. His studies deal with areas such as Cycling, Strip-till, Arid and Soil horizon as well as Stover. Jorge A. Delgado has researched No-till farming in several fields, including Randomized block design, Crop residue and Conservation agriculture.
