Metin Turan spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Agronomy, Shoot, Phosphorus and Rhizobacteria. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Plant nutrition and Pseudomonas. His study in the field of Humic acid is also linked to topics like Magnetic field.

The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Canola, Phytoremediation and Metal. Metin Turan has included themes like Bacillus megaterium and Seedling in his Rhizobacteria study. His studies in Chlorophyll integrate themes in fields like Salicylic acid and Dry weight.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on yield, growth and nutrient contents in organically growing raspberry (227 citations)
  • Effects of untreated and treated wastewater irrigation on some chemical properties of cauliflower (Brassica olerecea L. var. botrytis) and red cabbage (Brassica olerecea L. var. rubra) grown on calcareous soil in Turkey (158 citations)
  • Effects of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on yield, growth and nutrient contents of organically grown strawberry. (152 citations)

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

Metin Turan mainly focuses on Horticulture, Agronomy, Rhizobacteria, Shoot and Fertilizer. In Horticulture, Metin Turan works on issues like Botany, which are connected to Antioxidant. His Agronomy research includes elements of Soil water, Soil fertility and Phosphorus.

Metin Turan focuses mostly in the field of Rhizobacteria, narrowing it down to matters related to Bacillus megaterium and, in some cases, Azospirillum brasilense. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dry matter and Phytoremediation. His studies deal with areas such as Aridisol, Enzyme assay, Calcareous and Plant nutrition as well as Fertilizer.

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Agronomy, Chlorophyll, Enzyme assay and Irrigation. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Soil water, Rhizobacteria, Antioxidant and Stomatal conductance. His study looks at the intersection of Soil water and topics like Yield with Fertilizer.

When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, his work on Crop yield, Nitrogen fertilizer and Zea mays is frequently linked to work in Yield and Phosphogypsum, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Chlorophyll research incorporates elements of Photosynthesis, Yield and Shoot. His Irrigation study incorporates themes from Berry and Cultivar, Wine grape.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nitric oxide mitigates salt stress effects of pepper seedlings by altering nutrient uptake, enzyme activity and osmolyte accumulation (12 citations)

  • Growth, nutrient uptake and enzyme activity response of Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) to excess copper (11 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Bacteria

Metin Turan mostly deals with Horticulture, Enzyme assay, Irrigation, Antioxidant and Hydrogen peroxide. His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Superoxide dismutase, Field capacity and Stomatal conductance. His Field capacity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Lycopersicon, Dry weight and Drought stress.

His research integrates issues of Copper toxicity, Copper, Peroxidase, Lactuca and Point of delivery in his study of Enzyme assay. His study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Berry and Cultivar, Wine grape. His Antioxidant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant physiology, Enzyme, Water-use efficiency and Water content.
