The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Forage, Panicum virgatum, Poaceae and Botany. All of his Agronomy and Bromus inermis, Pasture, Fodder, Perennial plant and Grazing investigations are sub-components of the entire Agronomy study. His Forage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hay and Germination.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crop yield and Thinopyrum intermedium. Kenneth J. Moore combines subjects such as Andropogon, Cultivar and Germplasm with his study of Panicum virgatum. His work on Lignin, Neutral Detergent Fiber and Developmental morphology as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Axillary bud, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Describing and Quantifying Growth Stages of Perennial Forage Grasses (410 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Biomass, Agroforestry, Kenaf and Bioenergy. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Panicum virgatum, Soil quality and Temperate climate. Kenneth J. Moore has researched Panicum virgatum in several fields, including Andropogon and Ecotype.

His work deals with themes such as Biofuel, Cultivar and Growing season, which intersect with Biomass. His research investigates the connection between Agroforestry and topics such as Cropping system that intersect with issues in Cropping. His Kenaf study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Hibiscus, Horticulture and Pyrolysis.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Analysis of Combined Experiments Revisited (84 citations)
  • Carbohydrates and Forage Quality (76 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Biomass, Bioenergy, Crop yield and Agroforestry. His Crop rotation study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Information storage, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Warm season, Cultivar and Developmental morphology as well as Biomass.

The Crop yield study combines topics in areas such as Soil carbon, Sweet sorghum, Mean squared error, Range and Biofuel. His Agroforestry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Perennial plant, Cropping system and Soil quality. His Panicum virgatum research includes elements of Ecotype and Growing season.
