Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Glycine and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. His work on Germination and Amaranth as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Chromosomal translocation, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Weed research focuses on Foxtail and how it connects with Setaria faberi, Glufosinate and Chenopodium.

His study in the fields of Acifluorfen under the domain of Weed control overlaps with other disciplines such as Water content. His work deals with themes such as Dry weight and Yield, which intersect with Glycine. His work in Horticulture is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of Rye (Secale cereale) Mulch on Weed Control and Soil Moisture in Soybean (Glycine max) (137 citations)
  • A biotype of common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis) resistant to triazine and ALS herbicides (136 citations)
  • A kochia (Kochia scoparia) biotype resistant to triazine and ALS-inhibiting herbicides (98 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Weed, Horticulture, Weed control and Botany. Agronomy is a component of his Setaria faberi, Glyphosate, Lambsquarters, Sowing and Acifluorfen studies. He combines subjects such as Biomass, Glufosinate and Pesticide with his study of Weed.

As part of the same scientific family, Loyd M. Wax usually focuses on Horticulture, concentrating on Glycine and intersecting with Sulfentrazone, Dry weight and Yield. The various areas that Loyd M. Wax examines in his Weed control study include Tillage and Agricultural science. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Acetolactate synthase that intersect with problems in Cross-resistance, Imazaquin, Atrazine and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.12%)
  • Weed (29.59%)
  • Horticulture (22.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2008)?

  • Agronomy (56.12%)
  • Weed (29.59%)
  • Acifluorfen (13.27%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Weed, Acifluorfen, Pesticide and Weed control. Glyphosate, Pendimethalin, Cultivar, Metribuzin and Setaria faberi are among the areas of Agronomy where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthesis, Sowing, Biomass, Germination and Dry weight in addition to Weed.

His work carried out in the field of Acifluorfen brings together such families of science as Imazaquin, Dicamba, Fluroxypyr, Clopyralid and Bentazon. His Pesticide research includes elements of Environmental chemistry, Hydrolysis and Soil contamination. His studies deal with areas such as Crop yield and Leaf expansion as well as Weed control.

Between 1999 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • Temperature effects on germination of nine Amaranthus species (95 citations)
  • Influence of Diphenylether Herbicide Application Rate and Timing on Common Waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis) Control in Soybean (Glycine max)1 (94 citations)
  • Common waterhemp ( Amaranthus rudis ) interference in soybean (77 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Glyphosate, Weed, Weed control and Setaria faberi. In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Agronomy and Transport inhibitor. His Glyphosate course of study focuses on Ammonium sulfate and Trimethylsulfonium and Horticulture.

His Weed control research focuses on Acifluorfen in particular. His Acifluorfen research focuses on Dry weight and how it relates to Glycine. His Setaria faberi study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glufosinate, Clomazone, Pendimethalin and Ipomoea hederacea.
