Mathias Becker

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Weed, Lowland rice, Agroforestry and Fertilizer. He studies Crop, a branch of Agronomy. His Weed research integrates issues from Upland rice and Irrigation.

Mathias Becker has researched Lowland rice in several fields, including Horticulture, Bronzing and Botany. His research investigates the connection between Agroforestry and topics such as Agriculture that intersect with problems in Green manure, Biomass and Productivity. His Fertilizer research incorporates themes from Humid forest, Transplanting and Yield gap.

His most cited work include:

• Iron toxicity in rice--conditions and management concepts. (264 citations)
• Seed priming enhances germination and seedling growth of barley under conditions of P and Zn deficiency (151 citations)
• Green manure technology: Potential, usage, and limitations. A case study for lowland rice (104 citations)

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

Mathias Becker mainly focuses on Agronomy, Green manure, Agroforestry, Soil fertility and Wetland. Mathias Becker works in the field of Agronomy, namely Fertilizer. His Green manure research focuses on subjects like Paddy field, which are linked to Aeration and Root nodule.

His Agroforestry study incorporates themes from Resource, Cropping, Agriculture, Appropriate technology and Crop yield. His Soil fertility research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil type, Soil classification, Acrisol, Cover crop and Cropping system. The concepts of his Wetland study are interwoven with issues in Floodplain, Land use, Agricultural productivity, Vegetation and Remote sensing.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (64.60%)
• Green manure (24.78%)
• Agroforestry (19.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Agronomy (64.60%)
• Fertilizer (15.93%)
• Lowland rice (11.50%)

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

Mathias Becker mainly focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Lowland rice, Wetland and Floodplain. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Soil water and Soil fertility. The Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Soil quality, Yield gap and Irrigation.

His work deals with themes such as Cropping, Crotalaria juncea, Soil nitrogen, Panicum and Nitrate, which intersect with Lowland rice. His Wetland study combines topics in areas such as Ecosystem services, Vegetation, Physical geography and Biological integrity. His research integrates issues of Biodiversity, Bunding, Land use and Yield in his study of Floodplain.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Variability and determinants of yields in rice production systems of West Africa (35 citations)
• Climate change impact on water- and nitrogen-use efficiencies and yields of maize and sorghum in the northern Benin dry savanna, West Africa (19 citations)
• CERES-Maize and CERES-Sorghum for modeling growth, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake, and soil moisture dynamics in the dry savanna of West Africa (14 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

Mathias Becker focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Agriculture, Soil water and Sorghum. His studies deal with areas such as Climate change, Crop residue and Stomatal conductance as well as Agronomy. Much of his study explores Fertilizer relationship to Soil quality.

His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Productivity, Nutrient, Yield and Water content. His Sorghum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crop simulation model, Irrigation, Nutrient management, Soil management and Transpiration. Spatial variability is connected with Agroforestry, Staple food, Yield gap, Oryza and Upland rice in his study.
