Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Radha Prasanna mainly focuses on Cyanobacteria, Agronomy, Botany, Biofertilizer and Nitrogen fixation. Her work on Anabaena as part of her general Cyanobacteria study is frequently connected to Bioactive molecules, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Inoculation, Horticulture and Soil fertility.

Radha Prasanna combines subjects such as Nostoc, Paenibacillus, Bacillaceae and Bacteria with her study of Botany. Her work in Biofertilizer tackles topics such as Biomass which are related to areas like Algae, Biofuel, Nutrient, Sewage treatment and Pulp and paper industry. Within one scientific family, Radha Prasanna focuses on topics pertaining to Microbial inoculant under Nitrogen fixation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Biofilm.

Her most cited work include:

  • Biofortification of wheat through inoculation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and cyanobacteria (177 citations)
  • Evaluating the potential of plant growth promoting cyanobacteria as inoculants for wheat (151 citations)
  • Phytoremediation potential of aquatic macrophyte, Azolla. (133 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Agronomy, Cyanobacteria, Microbial inoculant and Anabaena. Her study looks at the intersection of Botany and topics like Nitrogen fixation with Biofertilizer. Her Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inoculation, Nutrient and Soil fertility.

Her research investigates the connection between Cyanobacteria and topics such as Biochemistry that intersect with problems in Phycobiliprotein. Her work carried out in the field of Microbial inoculant brings together such families of science as System of Rice Intensification, Biofilm, Mesorhizobium ciceri, Rhizosphere and Trichoderma. Her Anabaena research incorporates themes from Chitosanase activity, Chitosanase, Anabaena variabilis and Fungicide.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (27.59%)
  • Agronomy (26.29%)
  • Cyanobacteria (23.28%)

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

  • Agronomy (26.29%)
  • Horticulture (14.22%)
  • Nutrient (13.36%)

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

Radha Prasanna spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Nutrient, Inoculation and Crop. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Agronomy, Soil fertility are connected with Crop growth and other disciplines. Her Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fertilizer, Ornamental plant, Sowing, Animal science and Microbial inoculant.

Her Microbial inoculant research incorporates elements of Biofilm, Nitrogen fixation, Soil test, Germination and Hectare. Her Nitrogen fixation research incorporates elements of Rhizobacteria and Microbial ecology. Her Crop research integrates issues from System of Rice Intensification, Agriculture and Human fertilization.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Microbial biofilm inoculants benefit growth and yield of chrysanthemum varieties under protected cultivation through enhanced nutrient availability (16 citations)
  • Co-cultivation of cyanobacteria for raising nursery of chrysanthemum using a hydroponic system (10 citations)
  • Potential of microbes in the biofortification of Zn and Fe in dietary food grains. A review (9 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Radha Prasanna mainly investigates Horticulture, Biofilm, Inoculation, Microbial inoculant and Nutrient. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pathogen, Ergosterol and Silver nanoparticle. Radha Prasanna combines subjects such as Nitrogen fixation, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma and Sowing with her study of Biofilm.

Her Inoculation research includes themes of Growth medium, Plant physiology, Diazotroph, Shoot and Cutting. Radha Prasanna focuses mostly in the field of Microbial inoculant, narrowing it down to matters related to Agronomy and, in some cases, Biofortification. The Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Field experiment, Brown rice and Human fertilization.
