  • 2008 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Gene

Kassim Al-Khatib mostly deals with Agronomy, Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany and Amaranth. His study in Glufosinate, Glyphosate, Weed control, Phytotoxicity and Pesticide are all subfields of Agronomy. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Oxidative stress, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Antioxidant.

His research in Photosynthesis tackles topics such as Chlorophyll which are related to areas like Photosystem. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thylakoid and Helianthus annuus. When carried out as part of a general Amaranth research project, his work on Amaranth Plants is frequently linked to work in Root volume, Relative humidity and Absorption, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Mode of high temperature injury to wheat during grain development (210 citations)
  • Photosynthesis and Productivity during High‐Temperature Stress of Wheat Genotypes from Major World Regions (143 citations)
  • Weed suppression with Brassica green manure crops in green pea. (122 citations)

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

Kassim Al-Khatib spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Weed, Botany and Glyphosate. Kassim Al-Khatib merges Agronomy with After treatment in his research. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Acifluorfen, Lactofen, Amaranth and Chromosomal translocation.

His study focuses on the intersection of Weed and fields such as Oryza sativa with connections in the field of Paddy field. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Metribuzin, Thylakoid, Protoporphyrinogen oxidase and Acetolactate synthase. His Thylakoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Photosystem II and Chlorophyll.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.30%)
  • Horticulture (27.41%)
  • Weed (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (56.30%)
  • Weed (20.00%)
  • Oryza sativa (5.19%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Weed, Oryza sativa, Glyphosate and Horticulture. While working in this field, Kassim Al-Khatib studies both Agronomy and Poor control. Kassim Al-Khatib has included themes like Biomass, Cropping, Competition and Tiller in his Weed study.

His Oryza sativa research includes themes of Juglans, Bensulfuron methyl, Paddy field and Animal science. The Glyphosate study combines topics in areas such as Integrated pest management, Resistance and Conyza sumatrensis. Kassim Al-Khatib combines subjects such as Phosphorus, Clomazone, Fertilizer and Algaecide with his study of Horticulture.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Differential Kochia (Kochia scoparia) Populations Response to Glyphosate (41 citations)
  • A psbA mutation (Val219 to Ile) causes resistance to propanil and increased susceptibility to bentazon in Cyperus difformis. (11 citations)
  • MAINTAINING LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT: Herbicide-resistant weeds challenge some signature cropping systems (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Weed, Cyperus difformis, Paddy field and Germination. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Metabolism study and Metabolism. His Weed research incorporates elements of Glyphosate, Carbaryl and Scoparia.

His study in the fields of Schoenoplectus mucronatus under the domain of Cyperus difformis overlaps with other disciplines such as Bulrush. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Paddy field, concentrating on Oryza sativa and intersecting with Japonica, Genetic diversity and Genetic distance. His Germination study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Growing season, Echinochloa, Field capacity, Moisture and Seedling.
