Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Madhoolika Agrawal mainly investigates Agronomy, Pollutant, Air pollution, Botany and Pollution. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Sludge and Agriculture. The concepts of his Air pollution study are interwoven with issues in Tropospheric ozone, Environmental engineering and Vegetation.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Afforestation and Horticulture. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance, Plant species, Arbol and Water content. His Pollution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Particulates and Food contaminant.

His most cited work include:

  • Heavy metal contamination of soil and vegetables in suburban areas of Varanasi, India. (645 citations)
  • Health risk assessment of heavy metals via dietary intake of foodstuffs from the wastewater irrigated site of a dry tropical area of India (471 citations)
  • Effects of sewage sludge amendment on heavy metal accumulation and consequent responses of Beta vulgaris plants (286 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany and Pollutant. The various areas that Madhoolika Agrawal examines in his Agronomy study include Biomass and Nutrient. Madhoolika Agrawal has included themes like Antioxidant and Plant physiology in his Horticulture study.

His Photosynthesis study which covers Chlorophyll that intersects with Carotenoid. His Pollutant research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry, Air pollution and Tropospheric ozone. His research investigates the connection between Air pollution and topics such as Pollution that intersect with issues in Environmental protection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (33.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Horticulture (25.70%)
  • Agronomy (33.73%)
  • Cultivar (15.66%)

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

Madhoolika Agrawal spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Agronomy, Cultivar, Photosynthesis and Pollutant. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Peroxidase, Oxidative stress, Nutrient and Plant physiology. His studies deal with areas such as Germination, Shoot, Biomass, Yield and Ozone as well as Cultivar.

His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Phytotoxicity, Root length and Chlorophyll. Madhoolika Agrawal combines subjects such as Air pollution, Wind speed and Air quality index with his study of Pollutant. His Air pollution study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Particulates, Vegetation and Pollution.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ozone pollution will compromise efforts to increase global wheat production. (76 citations)
  • Closing the global ozone yield gap: Quantification and cobenefits for multistress tolerance (59 citations)
  • Assessment of ozone toxicity among 14 Indian wheat cultivars under field conditions: growth and productivity (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Madhoolika Agrawal mostly deals with Cultivar, Horticulture, Agronomy, Photosynthesis and Air pollution. His Cultivar research includes themes of Shoot, Ozone and Sowing. His study deals with a combination of Horticulture and Ascorbic acid.

The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Red mud and Revegetation. His Photosynthesis research incorporates elements of Ethylene diurea and Chlorophyll. Madhoolika Agrawal interconnects Particulates, Pollutant, Irrigation and Environmental protection in the investigation of issues within Air pollution.
