Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Irrigation
  • Fertilizer

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Tillage, Conservation agriculture, No-till farming and Conventional tillage. His Crop yield and Cropping system study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Population. His Tillage research integrates issues from Irrigation, Crop residue and Crop.

In his research on the topic of Conservation agriculture, Food security, Strip-till, Mulch-till and Minimum tillage is strongly related with Productivity. The various areas that Mangi Lal Jat examines in his No-till farming study include Soil carbon and Crop rotation. In his work, Agroforestry is strongly intertwined with Soil retrogression and degradation, which is a subfield of Soil carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Limited potential of no-till agriculture for climate change mitigation (389 citations)
  • Productivity and sustainability of the rice-wheat cropping system in the indo-gangetic plains of the Indian subcontinent: Problems, opportunities, and strategies (206 citations)
  • Evaluation of precision land leveling and double zero-till systems in the rice–wheat rotation: Water use, productivity, profitability and soil physical properties (188 citations)

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

Mangi Lal Jat spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Conservation agriculture, Tillage, No-till farming and Food security. As part of the same scientific family, Mangi Lal Jat usually focuses on Agronomy, concentrating on Soil carbon and intersecting with Soil retrogression and degradation. His Conservation agriculture research includes elements of Agroforestry, Soil quality, Conventional tillage, Environmental protection and Productivity.

His research integrates issues of Nutrient management, Water-use efficiency, Crop rotation, Kharif crop and Loam in his study of Tillage. His No-till farming research incorporates themes from Sesbania, Crop residue and Soil health. His Food security course of study focuses on Natural resource economics and Climate change and agriculture and Agricultural productivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.46%)
  • Conservation agriculture (39.29%)
  • Tillage (32.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Food security (24.11%)
  • Conservation agriculture (39.29%)
  • Agricultural science (8.93%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Food security, Conservation agriculture, Agricultural science, Agronomy and Productivity. His study in Food security is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Natural resource economics and Environmental planning. His research ties No-till farming and Conservation agriculture together.

His Agricultural science study also includes

  • Fertilizer which intersects with area such as Farm income, Manure and Probit model,
  • Nutrient management together with Nutrient cycle, Topsoil, Conventional tillage, Soil carbon and Soil test. Mangi Lal Jat performs multidisciplinary study in Agronomy and Economic return in his work. Mangi Lal Jat has included themes like Socioeconomics and Empowerment in his Productivity study.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change and agriculture in South Asia: adaptation options in smallholder production systems (37 citations)
  • Conservation agriculture for sustainable intensification in South Asia (21 citations)
  • Major Climate risks and Adaptation Strategies of Smallholder Farmers in Coastal Bangladesh (8 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Irrigation
  • Fertilizer

Mangi Lal Jat mainly focuses on Natural resource economics, Food security, Sustainable development, Agronomy and Consumption. His work on Climate change and agriculture as part of general Food security study is frequently linked to Psychological resilience, Effects of global warming and Resource, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Mangi Lal Jat merges many fields, such as Sustainable development and Productivity, in his writings.

As part of his studies on Agronomy, he often connects relevant subjects like Calcareous. Mangi Lal Jat has researched Calcareous in several fields, including No-till farming and Conservation agriculture. His work deals with themes such as Cropping and Water conservation, which intersect with Conservation agriculture.
