Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Conventional tillage, Tillage, Field pea and No-till farming. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Soil water and Rhizosphere. His Tillage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Loam and Bulk soil.

His Field pea study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Monoculture, Crop residue and Red Clover. His No-till farming study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil structure, Soil classification and Green manure. The Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Dry matter and Crop yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil microbial diversity and community structure under wheat as influenced by tillage and crop rotation (382 citations)
  • Crop yield and nitrogen concentration with controlled release urea and split applications of nitrogen as compared to non-coated urea applied at seeding (118 citations)
  • Inoculant quality and its evaluation (102 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop rotation, Canola, Tillage and Fertilizer. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in No-till farming and Rhizosphere. The various areas that Newton Z. Lupwayi examines in his Crop rotation study include Soil organic matter, Glyphosate, Cropping system and Weed.

His Canola research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Brassica and Soil water. The concepts of his Tillage study are interwoven with issues in Cover crop, Coated urea, Soil quality and Crop. His Fertilizer study combines topics in areas such as Soil biology, Nutrient, Biomass and Crop yield.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (87.50%)
  • Crop rotation (25.78%)
  • Canola (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Agronomy (87.50%)
  • Canola (25.00%)
  • Crop rotation (25.78%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Canola, Crop rotation, Manure and Fertilizer. His study on Agronomy is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Soil carbon. Newton Z. Lupwayi combines subjects such as Residual nitrogen and Legume crops with his study of Canola.

His work investigates the relationship between Crop rotation and topics such as Cropping system that intersect with problems in Avena fatua, Hordeum vulgare, Medicago sativa, Weed control and Cultural methods. His research integrates issues of Rhizosphere, Food science and Microbial population biology in his study of Manure. His Fertilizer study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Soil water.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-term and legacy effects of manure application on soil microbial community composition (34 citations)
  • Linking soil microbial biomass and enzyme activities to long-term manure applications and their nonlinear legacy (9 citations)
  • Soil Phospholipid Fatty Acid Biomarkers and β-Glucosidase Activities after Long-Term Manure and Fertilizer N Applications (7 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Newton Z. Lupwayi focuses on Manure, Fertilizer, Inoculation, Microbial inoculant and Rhizosphere. In his research, Relative species abundance, Animal science, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes and Soil water is intimately related to Microbial population biology, which falls under the overarching field of Manure. He has researched Fertilizer in several fields, including Food science and Firmicutes.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Legume, Cultivar, Chernozem and Phosphorite in addition to Microbial inoculant. His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Soil carbon and Agronomy, Irrigation, which intersect with Rhizosphere. Newton Z. Lupwayi incorporates Agronomy and Enzyme assay in his studies.
