  • Assessing the vulnerability of food crop systems in Africa to climate change (387 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Sowing, Horticulture, Botany and Cultivar. When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, his work on Crop, Anthesis, Sorghum and Germination is frequently linked to work in Yield, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Crop research incorporates elements of Adaptation and Crop yield.

He has included themes like Phenology, Plant physiology, Dioscorea rotundata, photoperiodism and Point of delivery in his Sowing study. His work on Field experiment and Bud as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Ecophysiology and Plant development, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Cultivar study deals with Grain quality intersecting with Hybrid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.13%)
  • Sowing (32.11%)
  • Horticulture (25.69%)

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

  • Agriculture (12.84%)
  • Agronomy (54.13%)
  • Productivity (5.50%)

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

Peter Craufurd mainly focuses on Agriculture, Agronomy, Productivity, Nutrient and Yield. His Agriculture research includes elements of Developing country and Yield. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cropping and Conservation agriculture.

His Productivity research integrates issues from Climate change and Yield gap. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dry matter, Soil fertility and Fertilizer in addition to Nutrient. His Phenology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anthesis, Data collection and Growing season.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Maize crop nutrient input requirements for food security in sub-Saharan Africa (27 citations)
  • Challenges and Responses to Ongoing and Projected Climate Change for Dryland Cereal Production Systems throughout the World (16 citations)
  • Gender differentiated small-scale farm mechanization in Nepal hills: An application of exogenous switching treatment regression. (13 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Agriculture, Productivity, Yield, Nutrient and Yield gap. His study in the field of Food security and Agricultural productivity is also linked to topics like Agricultural economics. As a part of the same scientific study, Peter Craufurd usually deals with the Nutrient, concentrating on Soil fertility and frequently concerns with Dry matter.

His research integrates issues of Agricultural extension and Staple food in his study of Yield gap. His Yield study is concerned with Agronomy in general. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil texture, Soil water and Loam in addition to Agronomy.
