Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Nutrient, Crop yield, Plant nutrition and Poaceae. In his study, Soil fertility is strongly linked to Oxisol, which falls under the umbrella field of Agronomy. His Nutrient research focuses on Soil water and how it connects with Strip farming and Row crop.

His research integrates issues of Nutrient management and Agroforestry in his study of Crop yield. Nand Kumar Fageria focuses mostly in the field of Poaceae, narrowing it down to matters related to Animal science and, in some cases, Temperate climate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Leaching and Yield in addition to Crop.

His most cited work include:

  • ENHANCING NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY IN CROP PLANTS (705 citations)
  • NUTRIENT USE EFFICIENCY IN PLANTS (629 citations)
  • Growth and mineral nutrition of field crops (550 citations)

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

Nand Kumar Fageria mainly investigates Agronomy, Nutrient, Oxisol, Crop and Horticulture. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil water and Plant nutrition. His research investigates the connection between Nutrient and topics such as Poaceae that intersect with issues in Cropping system.

His Oxisol research incorporates elements of Dry weight, Soil pH and Phaseolus. Crop and Fertilizer are commonly linked in his work. Nand Kumar Fageria works mostly in the field of Crop yield, limiting it down to topics relating to Agroforestry and, in certain cases, Agriculture, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (75.79%)
  • Nutrient (31.05%)
  • Oxisol (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Agronomy (75.79%)
  • Crop (20.53%)
  • Nutrient (31.05%)

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

Nand Kumar Fageria mainly focuses on Agronomy, Crop, Nutrient, Oxisol and Dry weight. He performs multidisciplinary studies into Agronomy and Upland rice in his work. As part of the same scientific family, Nand Kumar Fageria usually focuses on Crop, concentrating on Agriculture and intersecting with Sustainability.

His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Organic matter, Tillage and Crop rotation. His Oxisol research incorporates themes from Soil pH, Cation-exchange capacity and Green manure. The Dry weight study which covers Shoot that intersects with Dry matter and Inceptisol.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • NITROGEN HARVEST INDEX AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH CROP YIELDS (43 citations)
  • Nitrogen Management in Crop Production (33 citations)
  • Influence of Lime and Gypsum on Yield and Yield Components of Soybean and Changes in Soil Chemical Properties (30 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

Nand Kumar Fageria mostly deals with Agronomy, Nutrient, Panicle, Crop and Oxisol. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil pH and Crop production. Nand Kumar Fageria has included themes like Agriculture, Crop yield and Sustainability in his Nutrient study.

His Crop yield research includes elements of Straw and Human fertilization. His study explores the link between Crop and topics such as Shoot that cross with problems in Inceptisol and Dry matter. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Oxisol, Cover crop, Legume, Plant nutrition and Soil water is strongly linked to Dry weight.
