Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Paramu L. Mafongoya mainly investigates Agroforestry, Agronomy, Agriculture, Multipurpose tree and Soil fertility. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Agroforestry, Intercropping, Food security and Nutrient management is strongly linked to Agricultural productivity. His Agronomy study frequently links to other fields, such as Nutrient cycle.

His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Resource, Sustainability and Poor people. The various areas that Paramu L. Mafongoya examines in his Multipurpose tree study include Ruminant, Dry matter, Acacia angustissima, Mineralization and Calliandra calothyrsus. His Soil fertility research incorporates themes from Soil management, Soil nitrogen and Crop production.

His most cited work include:

  • Building Soil Nitrogen Capital in Africa (233 citations)
  • Decomposition and nitrogen release patterns of tree prunings and litter (217 citations)
  • Organic matter technologies for integrated nutrient management in smallholder cropping systems of southern Africa (190 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Climate change and Soil fertility. His studies deal with areas such as Arid, Sustainability and Socioeconomics as well as Agriculture. His Agroforestry research includes elements of Soil management and Food security.

His Climate change research integrates issues from Vulnerability, Natural resource economics, Livelihood and Environmental resource management. The concepts of his Soil fertility study are interwoven with issues in Nutrient cycle, Soil organic matter, Fertilizer and Soil quality. His study in Sesbania sesban is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Multipurpose tree and Acacia angustissima.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (36.88%)
  • Agriculture (24.82%)
  • Agroforestry (20.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Climate change (19.86%)
  • Agriculture (24.82%)
  • Socioeconomics (9.22%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Agriculture, Socioeconomics, Agronomy and Environmental planning. Paramu L. Mafongoya interconnects Agricultural extension, Natural resource economics, Livelihood and Vulnerability in the investigation of issues within Climate change. His Agriculture research incorporates elements of Agroforestry and Agricultural economics.

While working on this project, he studies both Agroforestry and Goods and services. His studies in Environmental planning integrate themes in fields like Adaptation strategies, Climate change management and Food security, Food systems. He usually deals with Agricultural productivity and limits it to topics linked to Arid and Focus group.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Estimating LAI and mapping canopy storage capacity for hydrological applications in wattle infested ecosystems using Sentinel-2 MSI derived red edge bands (13 citations)
  • Evaluation of agroforestry systems for maize (Zea mays) productivity in South Africa (6 citations)
  • Livelihood strategies and their determinants among smallholder farming households in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa* (5 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Agriculture, Socioeconomics, Multispectral image, Kwazulu natal and Marker-assisted selection. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chlorosis, Whitefly and Weed in addition to Agriculture. His Socioeconomics study combines topics in areas such as PEST analysis, Vegetable crops and Insect pest.

His work in Multispectral image covers topics such as Canopy which are related to areas like Soil water. His study focuses on the intersection of Agricultural productivity and fields such as Arid with connections in the field of Climate change and Focus group. His Climate change study frequently links to related topics such as Agroforestry.
