Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Horticulture, Botany and Nutrient. Richard W. Bell has included themes like Oryza sativa and Pollen in his Agronomy study. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental chemistry and Sowing as well as Soil water.

His study looks at the relationship between Environmental chemistry and fields such as Boron, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Dry matter under Horticulture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Plant nutrition and Vegetative reproduction. His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Field experiment, Phosphorus and Shoot.

His most cited work include:

  • Dryland salinity in south-western Australia: its origins, remedies, and future research directions (138 citations)
  • Conservation agriculture for small holder rainfed farming: Opportunities and constraints of new mechanized seeding systems (104 citations)
  • Diagnosis and prediction of boron deficiency for plant production (82 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Soil water, Horticulture, Nutrient and Agroforestry. His Agronomy study is mostly concerned with Crop, Sowing, Tillage, Fertilizer and Transplanting. His studies in Tillage integrate themes in fields like No-till farming, Crop residue and Conservation agriculture.

Soil water is often connected to Irrigation in his work. His work deals with themes such as Botany and Boron, which intersect with Horticulture. His Nutrient research includes themes of Phosphorus and Crop yield.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.32%)
  • Soil water (26.09%)
  • Horticulture (20.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Agronomy (52.32%)
  • Crop (12.32%)
  • Sowing (10.58%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Crop, Sowing, Tillage and Conservation agriculture. The various areas that Richard W. Bell examines in his Agronomy study include Soil water and Nutrient. His Crop research integrates issues from Cropping, Soil test, Growing season and Wet season.

The concepts of his Sowing study are interwoven with issues in Dry season, Fertilizer and Cultivar. His research integrates issues of No-till farming, Crop residue, Weed control and Weed in his study of Tillage. His Conservation agriculture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry and Mechanization.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Minimum tillage unpuddled transplanting: An alternative crop establishment strategy for rice in conservation agriculture cropping systems (35 citations)
  • Dissolved reactive phosphorus played a limited role in phosphorus transport via runoff, throughflow and leaching on contrasting cropping soils from southwest Australia. (31 citations)
  • Greenhouse gas implications of novel and conventional rice production technologies in the Eastern-Gangetic plains (22 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Sowing, Crop, Soil water and Tillage. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient and Conservation agriculture. His work carried out in the field of Sowing brings together such families of science as Salinity, Dry matter and Conventional tillage.

His Crop study incorporates themes from Dry season, Cultivar, Growing season and Wet season. The Soil water study which covers Surface runoff that intersects with Ecosystem, Applied ecology, Environmental planning and Restoration ecology. As a part of the same scientific family, Richard W. Bell mostly works in the field of Tillage, focusing on No-till farming and, on occasion, Field capacity.
