His Fertilizer research includes elements of Organic matter, Legume, Cropping system, Crop and Nitrogen fixation. His work deals with themes such as Soil management, Mucuna pruriens and Phosphorite, which intersect with Horticulture. His Agroforestry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil pH and Forestry.

Between 2003 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • On-farm Evaluation of Biological Nitrogen Fixation Potential and Grain Yield of Lablab and Two Soybean Varieties in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria (25 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Crop, Agronomy, Soil fertility, Fertilizer and Nitrogen fixation. In general Crop, his work in Soybean management practices is often linked to Commercialization, Socioeconomic development and Profitability index linking many areas of study. N. Sanginga works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Organic fertilizer in particular.

His work on Cropping system expands to the thematically related Soil fertility. N. Sanginga has researched Nitrogen fixation in several fields, including Legume, Horticulture, Phosphorite, Fodder and Agroecology. His research integrates issues of Bradyrhizobium, Nutrient, Shoot and Crop rotation in his study of Legume.
