Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His main research concerns Rhizoctonia, Botany, Pythium, Agronomy and Rhizoctonia solani. Mark Mazzola works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to concerns involving Horticulture and, occasionally, Rhizosphere. His Pythium research incorporates themes from Brassica, Meal, Pythium vexans and Seedling.

His Seedling research focuses on subjects like Sowing, which are linked to Soil water. Agronomy is closely attributed to Soil microbiology in his work. In his study, Pathogen and Microbial population biology is strongly linked to Infestation, which falls under the umbrella field of Rhizoctonia solani.

His most cited work include:

  • Diversity and natural functions of antibiotics produced by beneficial and plant pathogenic bacteria. (276 citations)
  • Assessment and management of soil microbial community structure for disease suppression. (238 citations)
  • Elucidation of the microbial complex having a causal role in the development of apple replant disease in washington. (194 citations)

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

Mark Mazzola spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Orchard, Rhizosphere and Pythium. As a part of the same scientific study, Mark Mazzola usually deals with the Agronomy, concentrating on Soil conditioner and frequently concerns with Crop yield and Hyphal growth. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water and Oomycete.

His Orchard study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Rootstock, Cultivar, Chloropicrin, Soil microbiology and Postharvest. Mark Mazzola has researched Rhizosphere in several fields, including Microbiome, Identification, Cylindrocarpon and Microbiology. His Pythium irregulare study, which is part of a larger body of work in Pythium, is frequently linked to Pratylenchus penetrans, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (39.09%)
  • Horticulture (48.18%)
  • Orchard (35.45%)

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

  • Horticulture (48.18%)
  • Orchard (35.45%)
  • Rhizosphere (30.00%)

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

Mark Mazzola mostly deals with Horticulture, Orchard, Rhizosphere, Rootstock and Oomycete. As part of one scientific family, Mark Mazzola deals mainly with the area of Horticulture, narrowing it down to issues related to the Soil water, and often Verticillium dahliae, Growing season, Fish emulsion and Agronomy. Mark Mazzola combines subjects such as Chloropicrin and Pythium with his study of Orchard.

Mark Mazzola conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Pythium and Pratylenchus penetrans through his works. The various areas that Mark Mazzola examines in his Rhizosphere study include Brassica, Brassicaceae, Microbiome and Food science. Mark Mazzola works mostly in the field of Oomycete, limiting it down to topics relating to Pythium irregulare and, in certain cases, Pythium sylvaticum.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anaerobic soil disinfestation is an alternative to soil fumigation for control of some soilborne pathogens in strawberry production (32 citations)
  • Anaerobic disinfestation induced changes to the soil microbiome, disease incidence and strawberry fruit yields in California field trials (17 citations)
  • Involvement of Dactylonectria and Ilyonectria spp. in tree decline affecting multi-generation apple orchards (17 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Soil water, Horticulture, Rootstock, Fumigation and Inoculation. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Fish emulsion, Mustard seed and Agronomy, Growing season. His study in the fields of Pythium ultimum, Seedling, Zearalenone and Fusarium under the domain of Horticulture overlaps with other disciplines such as Tentoxin.

His Rootstock research integrates issues from Rhizosphere, Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Orchard. His Fumigation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Disease management, Field soil, Verticillium dahliae and Biotechnology. The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA extraction, Pythium irregulare, Phytophthora cactorum and Oomycete in addition to Inoculation.
