Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Statistics and Plant disease are her primary areas of study. Botany and Power law are frequently intertwined in her study. Her Agronomy research focuses on Gibberella zeae and how it relates to Poaceae and Animal science.

Her study looks at the intersection of Horticulture and topics like Fungi imperfecti with Logistic regression. Her Binomial distribution, Sampling and Standard error study in the realm of Statistics interacts with subjects such as Correlation. Her biological study deals with issues like Crop loss, which deal with fields such as Biological dispersal.

Her most cited work include:

  • Introduction to Plant Disease Epidemiology (1930 citations)
  • The study of plant disease epidemics (668 citations)
  • Nonparametric analysis of ordinal data in designed factorial experiments. (334 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Statistics and Plant disease. Her work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Colletotrichum acutatum and Biological dispersal. Laurence V. Madden frequently studies issues relating to Ecology and Biological dispersal.

Her studies examine the connections between Agronomy and genetics, as well as such issues in Fusarium, with regards to Animal science and Test weight. Her study focuses on the intersection of Statistics and fields such as Incidence with connections in the field of Veterinary medicine. Her Head blight research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anthesis and Winter wheat.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (33.55%)
  • Horticulture (23.32%)
  • Agronomy (20.45%)

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

  • Head blight (8.63%)
  • Statistics (17.57%)
  • Fusarium (10.22%)

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

Laurence V. Madden focuses on Head blight, Statistics, Fusarium, Horticulture and Plant disease. As part of one scientific family, Laurence V. Madden deals mainly with the area of Head blight, narrowing it down to issues related to the Anthesis, and often Regression analysis. Laurence V. Madden works mostly in the field of Statistics, limiting it down to concerns involving Residual and, occasionally, Akaike information criterion.

Her research integrates issues of Test weight, Cultivar, Fungicide and Animal science in her study of Fusarium. Her research in the fields of Inoculation, Gibberella and Phomopsis viticola overlaps with other disciplines such as Advisory system. Her work focuses on many connections between Inoculation and other disciplines, such as Botany, that overlap with her field of interest in Species diversity, Organic matter and Decomposition.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Efficacy of Fungicide Applications During and After Anthesis Against Fusarium Head Blight and Deoxynivalenol in Soft Red Winter Wheat. (46 citations)
  • Quantifying the effects of fusarium head blight on grain yield and test weight in soft red winter wheat. (36 citations)
  • Predicting Fusarium head blight epidemics with weather-driven pre- and post-anthesis logistic regression models (32 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Botany
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Head blight, Fusarium, Anthesis, Fungicide and Tebuconazole. Her Head blight study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inoculation and Statistics, Logistic regression, Regression. Her Inoculation study often links to related topics such as Botany.

Her work on Grapevine red-blotch associated virus as part of general Botany research is often related to Geminiviridae, thus linking different fields of science. Her Fusarium research incorporates themes from Test weight, Cultivar, Winter wheat, Agronomy and Animal science. Her study on Tebuconazole is covered under Horticulture.
