Richard W. Smiley

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agronomy
• Agriculture
• Botany

Richard W. Smiley mainly focuses on Agronomy, Root rot, Tillage, Rhizoctonia and Pratylenchus. Richard W. Smiley has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Natural enemies and Fusarium. To a larger extent, he studies Horticulture with the aim of understanding Root rot.

His Tillage study combines topics in areas such as Crop residue, Rhizoctonia solani and Crop rotation. He interconnects Cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera, Xiphinema and Pratylenchus thornei in the investigation of issues within Pratylenchus. His Poaceae research includes elements of Inoculation, Fungi imperfecti, Crown and Bipolaris.

His most cited work include:

• THE AMERICAN PHYTOPATHOLOGICAL SOCIETY (873 citations)
• Compendium of Turfgrass Diseases (243 citations)
• Insights into the prevalence and management of soilborne cereal pathogens under direct seeding in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A. (161 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Horticulture, Cultivar, Poaceae and Pratylenchus neglectus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Heterodera avenae and Pratylenchus in addition to Agronomy. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Botany, Crown and Soil water.

His studies deal with areas such as Fungi imperfecti, Fungicide, Leaf spot and Crop as well as Poaceae. His research in Pratylenchus neglectus intersects with topics in Crop yield and Pratylenchus thornei. His studies in Root rot integrate themes in fields like Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Sowing.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (69.57%)
• Horticulture (23.91%)
• Cultivar (22.83%)

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

• Agronomy (69.57%)
• Cultivar (22.83%)
• Heterodera avenae (19.57%)

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

Agronomy, Cultivar, Heterodera avenae, Pratylenchus and Pratylenchus neglectus are his primary areas of study. Richard W. Smiley has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Fusarium culmorum and Postharvest. Richard W. Smiley usually deals with Cultivar and limits it to topics linked to Sowing and Yield, Crop yield and Anthesis.

His Heterodera avenae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hordeum vulgare, Botany and Cereal cyst nematode. His research on Pratylenchus also deals with topics like

• Cropping together with Abundance, Tillage, Crop rotation and Legume,
• Soil test and related Organic matter, Precision agriculture, Edaphic and No-till farming. The study incorporates disciplines such as Brassica, Camelina and Thistle in addition to Pratylenchus neglectus.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Detection and quantification of Pratylenchus thornei in DNA extracted from soil using real-time PCR. (50 citations)
• Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Fusarium crown rot (Fusarium pseudograminearum) in multiple assay environments in the Pacific Northwestern US (43 citations)
• Developing a Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection and Quantification of Pratylenchus neglectus in Soil (40 citations)

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

• Agronomy
• Agriculture
• Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Internal transcribed spacer, Nematode, Pratylenchus and Heterodera avenae. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Developing country and Fusarium. The concepts of his Nematode study are interwoven with issues in Spirotetramat, Postharvest and Reproduction.

Richard W. Smiley works mostly in the field of Heterodera avenae, limiting it down to concerns involving Cereal cyst nematode and, occasionally, Nematology, Avena sterilis, Hordeum vulgare and Crop. Pratylenchus neglectus is closely connected to Horticulture in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Potato cyst nematode. In the field of Botany, his study on Heterodera filipjevi overlaps with subjects such as Ribosomal DNA.
