Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

N. Sanginga focuses on Agronomy, Soil fertility, Leucaena, Leucaena leucocephala and Soil management. Agronomy is often connected to Nitrogen fixation in his work. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroforestry, Sustainable agriculture, Crop yield, Crop rotation and Manure in addition to Soil fertility.

N. Sanginga has researched Agroforestry in several fields, including Nutrient management and Agriculture. His Leucaena research focuses on Cropping system and how it relates to Multipurpose tree. His work carried out in the field of Animal science brings together such families of science as Organic matter and Plant nutrition.

His most cited work include:

  • Integrated Plant Nutrient Management in Sub-Saharan Africa: From Concept to Practice (144 citations)
  • Soil fertility replenishment takes off in East and Southern Africa. (101 citations)
  • Effectiveness of rhizobia nodulating recent promiscuous soyabean selections in the moist savanna of Nigeria (73 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil fertility, Agroforestry, Nitrogen fixation and Fertilizer. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organic matter and Soil water. His study in Soil fertility is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crop rotation, Crop, Phosphorite, Soil management and Nutrient.

His Nitrogen fixation research incorporates elements of Inoculation, Rhizobium, Horticulture, Botany and Alfisol. His studies in Fertilizer integrate themes in fields like Legume and Manure. His Cropping system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Senna siamea and Multipurpose tree.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (70.27%)
  • Soil fertility (35.14%)
  • Agroforestry (29.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2015)?

  • Agronomy (70.27%)
  • Soil fertility (35.14%)
  • Fertilizer (23.42%)

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

N. Sanginga spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soil fertility, Fertilizer, Horticulture and Agroforestry. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Soil water. His study explores the link between Soil fertility and topics such as Nutrient management that cross with problems in Farm level.

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)
  • Promoting a versatile but yet minor crop : Soybean in the farming systems of Kenya (18 citations)
  • Evaluation of cowpea genotypes for variations in their contribution of N and P to subsequent maize crop in three agro-ecological zones of West Africa (7 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.
