Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Merle F. Vigil is best known for:

Agriculture
Irrigation
Legume

His Agronomy study frequently links to related topics such as Canola. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Soil carbon. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Soil carbon and Soil water. His Soil water study often links to related topics such as Soil quality. Crop and Multiple cropping are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary research. His research combines Multiple cropping and Sowing. Merle F. Vigil undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Agriculture and Dryland farming through his research. Many of his studies on Cropping apply to Summer fallow as well. His work on Cropping expands to the thematically related Summer fallow.

His most cited work include:

Microbial communities and enzyme activities in soils under alternative crop rotations compared to wheat–fallow for the Central Great Plains (145 citations)
Soil Nitrogen Mineralization Influenced by Crop Rotation and Nitrogen Fertilization (139 citations)
Legume Green Fallow Effect on Soil Water Content at Wheat Planting and Wheat Yield (137 citations)

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

His research on Crop is centered around Cropping system and Crop rotation. Agronomy and Growing season are frequently intertwined in his study. Merle F. Vigil performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Agroforestry in his works. In his research, Merle F. Vigil undertakes multidisciplinary study on Agroforestry and Agriculture. Borrowing concepts from Crop rotation, he weaves in ideas under Agriculture. His study brings together the fields of Loam and Soil science. His Loam study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Soil water. Soil water connects with themes related to Soil science in his study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Metallurgy and Yield (engineering).
