Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Agronomy, Crop, Weed, Botany and Competition. His Soil water research extends to Agronomy, which is thematically connected. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biotechnology, Cultivar, Yield and Crop production.

His studies deal with areas such as Crop growth and Plant breeding as well as Cultivar. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agrometeorology and Horticulture. His Competition research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Intercropping, Weed control and Simulation modeling.

His most cited work include:

  • ON APPROACHES AND APPLICATIONS OF THE WAGENINGEN CROP MODELS (509 citations)
  • A nonlinear model for crop development as a function of temperature (275 citations)
  • Modelling crop-weed interactions. (232 citations)

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

Martin J. Kropff focuses on Agronomy, Weed, Crop, Agroforestry and Weed control. He focuses mostly in the field of Agronomy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Competition and, in certain cases, Interspecific competition. As a part of the same scientific family, Martin J. Kropff mostly works in the field of Weed, focusing on Simulation modeling and, on occasion, Production.

In his research on the topic of Crop, Specific leaf area is strongly related with Growing season. His research in Agroforestry intersects with topics in Cropping, Agriculture and Tillage. Martin J. Kropff has researched Cultivar in several fields, including Panicle, Poaceae, photoperiodism and Phenology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.70%)
  • Weed (19.82%)
  • Crop (16.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Agronomy (52.70%)
  • Agriculture (9.46%)
  • Agroforestry (14.41%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Cropping and Agricultural science. Martin J. Kropff regularly ties together related areas like Crop residue in his Agronomy studies. His study in the fields of Organic farming under the domain of Agriculture overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.

His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Forestry and Crop rotation. His research in Agricultural science intersects with topics in Productivity, Win-win game and Paddy field. The various areas that Martin J. Kropff examines in his Weed study include Weed control, Tillage and Green manure.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cover crop residue management for optimizing weed control (83 citations)
  • Narrow rows reduce biomass and seed production of weeds and increase maize yield (35 citations)
  • Sublethal effects of herbicides on the biomass and seed production of terrestrial non-crop plant species, influenced by environment, development stage and assessment date. (23 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Agriculture, Weed, Crop yield and Crop. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Terrestrial plant, Terrestrial ecosystem and Vegetation. His study in Agriculture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Resource, Production, Natural resource economics and Effects of global warming.

His studies in Weed integrate themes in fields like Crop residue, Cover crop, Lactuca, Weed control and Tillage. His study looks at the intersection of Crop yield and topics like Food security with Crop simulation model, Environmental planning and Environmental data. Martin J. Kropff works mostly in the field of Crop, limiting it down to concerns involving Sowing and, occasionally, Randomized block design, Intercropping, Cultivar and Competition.
