  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Crop, Weed, Oryza sativa and Weed control. In general Agronomy, her work in Cultivar and Sorghum is often linked to Herbicide safener and Thiocarbamate linking many areas of study. Her Crop research integrates issues from Hectare, Lolium, Toxicology and Lolium perenne.

Nilda R. Burgos usually deals with Weed and limits it to topics linked to Glyphosate and Biomass and Gene. Her research in Oryza sativa intersects with topics in Crop rotation, Cold acclimation and Red rice. Her study in Weed control is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crop yield and Cash crop.

Her most cited work include:

  • Reducing the Risks of Herbicide Resistance: Best Management Practices and Recommendations (552 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Gene

Nilda R. Burgos mainly investigates Agronomy, Weed, Weed control, Weedy rice and Oryza sativa. Her studies in Lolium perenne, Yield, Grain yield, Flufenacet and Metribuzin are all subfields of Agronomy research. Her Weed study incorporates themes from Agricultural productivity, Tillage and Environmental planning.

Her Weed control research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cropping, Agroforestry and Organic farming. Her research integrates issues of Imazapic, Cross-resistance, Ecotype, Imazapyr and Paddy field in her study of Weedy rice. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Panicle and Crop.
