Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Hybrid, Dry matter, Zea mays and Poaceae. In his articles, Matthijs Tollenaar combines various disciplines, including Agronomy and Loam. His work in the fields of Hybrid, such as Heterosis, overlaps with other areas such as Gene–environment interaction.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Field experiment, Grain filling, Phenology and Source sink in addition to Dry matter. Matthijs Tollenaar interconnects Chlorophyll concentration and Sowing in the investigation of issues within Zea mays. His study brings together the fields of Canopy and Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Yield Improvement in Temperate Maize is Attributable to Greater Stress Tolerance (492 citations)
  • Yield potential, yield stability and stress tolerance in maize (476 citations)
  • Source : sink ratio and leaf senescence in maize:: I. Dry matter accumulation and partitioning during grain filling (269 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Poaceae, Hybrid, Dry matter and Zea mays. Agronomy is closely attributed to Photosynthesis in his research. His study looks at the relationship between Poaceae and fields such as Leaf area index, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His studies in Hybrid integrate themes in fields like Plant density and Physiological condition. His Dry matter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Yield, Crop yield and Sink. His work is dedicated to discovering how Zea mays, Grain yield are connected with Carbon exchange and Glyphosate and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (84.09%)
  • Poaceae (39.77%)
  • Hybrid (35.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Agronomy (84.09%)
  • Hybrid (35.23%)
  • Environmental science (5.68%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Hybrid, Environmental science, Phenology and Crop yield. His study in Crop and Yield falls under the purview of Agronomy. Matthijs Tollenaar combines topics linked to Plant density with his work on Hybrid.

His Phenology study combines topics in areas such as Anthesis and Sowing. Matthijs Tollenaar has researched Crop yield in several fields, including Dry matter, Husk, Botany and Sink. He combines subjects such as Hectare, Zea mays, Plant nutrition and Grain filling with his study of Dry matter.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Predicting maize phenology: intercomparison of functions for developmental response to temperature (79 citations)
  • Plant biomass and nitrogen partitioning changes between silking and maturity in newer versus older maize hybrids (50 citations)
  • The contribution of solar brightening to the US maize yield trend (41 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Agronomy, Crop yield, Phenology, Hybrid and Grain filling are his primary areas of study. In the field of Agronomy, his study on Crop growth overlaps with subjects such as Temperature response. His Crop growth research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agriculture, Climate change, Ecophysiology and Yield.

Combining a variety of fields, including Temperature response, Anthesis, Mathematics, Nonlinear system, Range and Sowing, are what the author presents in his essays. His research integrates issues of Zea mays, Dry matter and Plant nutrition in his study of Hybrid. He connects Environmental science with Agroecology in his research.
