Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Agronomy
  • Botany

Richard E. Muck mainly focuses on Silage, Fermentation, Agronomy, Forage and Dry matter. The various areas that Richard E. Muck examines in his Silage study include Lespedeza, Tannin, Botany, Astragalus cicer and Agricultural engineering. Richard E. Muck has researched Fermentation in several fields, including Waste management, Cellulosic ethanol and Microbial inoculant.

He has included themes like Lactobacillus buchneri, Bacterial growth and Lactic acid in his Microbial inoculant study. In general Agronomy, his work in Stover, Forage harvester and Hay is often linked to Science, technology and society linking many areas of study. His study with Dry matter involves better knowledge in Animal science.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbiology of Ensiling (372 citations)
  • New trends and opportunities in the development and use of inoculants for silage (354 citations)
  • Factors Influencing Silage Quality and Their Implications for Management (287 citations)

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

Silage, Agronomy, Dry matter, Animal science and Fermentation are his primary areas of study. His Silage study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neutral Detergent Fiber, Forage, Lactic acid and Microbial inoculant. His Agronomy research includes themes of Biomass and Water content.

His Dry matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Information silo, Waste management, Lactose, Hay and Food spoilage. His study focuses on the intersection of Animal science and fields such as Legume with connections in the field of Cultivar. Richard E. Muck combines subjects such as Inoculation, Clostridia and Formic acid with his study of Fermentation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Silage (75.00%)
  • Agronomy (54.63%)
  • Dry matter (46.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Silage (75.00%)
  • Agronomy (54.63%)
  • Dry matter (46.30%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Silage, Agronomy, Dry matter, Fermentation and Animal science. The concepts of his Silage study are interwoven with issues in Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactic acid, Rumen, Microbial inoculant and Forage. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, Starch and Water content as well as Agronomy.

His work carried out in the field of Dry matter brings together such families of science as Stover and Pasture. His Fermentation study is concerned with the larger field of Food science. His Animal science research focuses on Silo and how it relates to Waste management.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Changes in Forage Quality During Harvest and Storage (164 citations)
  • Silage review: Recent advances and future uses of silage additives (139 citations)
  • Silage review: Factors affecting dry matter and quality losses in silages (126 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Silage, Dry matter, Microbial inoculant, Agronomy and Fermentation. His Silage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inoculation and Forage. His Microbial inoculant study combines topics in areas such as Crop, Microorganism, Rumen, Biomass and Animal science.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Corn stover, Bioenergy, Husk and Nutrient loss. His Fermentation research incorporates themes from Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacterial growth and Fatty acid. His Food science research incorporates elements of Lactobacillus buchneri, Clostridia, Formic acid and Lactic acid.
