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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Bacteria

Mariateresa Cardarelli mainly investigates Horticulture, Shoot, Inoculation, Trichoderma koningii and Seed treatment. His research integrates issues of Salicylic acid, Hydrolysate and Transpiration in his study of Horticulture. The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Gibberellin, Solanum, Chrysanthemum indicum and Cutting.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phosphorite and Bacteria, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas. He has researched Trichoderma koningii in several fields, including Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Rhizobacteria and Crop yield. His Seed treatment study combines topics in areas such as Substrate and Terpenoid.
