Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Irrigation, Toxicology, Wastewater and Legume. As part of his studies on Agronomy, Robert C. Abaidoo often connects relevant subjects like Rhizobia. His study on Irrigation also encompasses disciplines like

  • Contamination, which have a strong connection to Vegetable farming and Environmental protection,
  • Environmental engineering that connect with fields like Plant production and Forestry.

His Toxicology research focuses on Fecal coliform and how it relates to Food contaminant and Pesticide residue. His work deals with themes such as Intercropping and Shoot, which intersect with Legume. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Vigna and Nitrogen fixation.

His most cited work include:

  • Pesticide and pathogen contamination of vegetables in Ghana's urban markets. (235 citations)
  • Irrigated urban vegetable production in Ghana: microbiological contamination in farms and markets and associated consumer risk groups. (115 citations)
  • Irrigated urban vegetable production in Ghana : Sources of pathogen contamination and health risk elimination (100 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil fertility, Crop yield and Agriculture. Robert C. Abaidoo has included themes like Nitrogen fixation and Nutrient in his Agronomy study. His Nitrogen fixation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cultivar and Yield.

His work investigates the relationship between Fertilizer and topics such as Manure that intersect with problems in Water-use efficiency. His research investigates the connection between Crop yield and topics such as Randomized block design that intersect with issues in Microbial inoculant. His Agriculture research includes elements of Wastewater, Agroforestry, Irrigation and Agricultural economics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.67%)
  • Fertilizer (21.03%)
  • Soil fertility (21.50%)

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

  • Agronomy (54.67%)
  • Rhizobia (14.49%)
  • Fertilizer (21.03%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Rhizobia, Fertilizer, Microbial inoculant and Randomized block design. His work in Agronomy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Cropping. As part of the same scientific family, Robert C. Abaidoo usually focuses on Cropping, concentrating on Legume and intersecting with Soil fertility.

Robert C. Abaidoo interconnects Isolation and Microbiology in the investigation of issues within Rhizobia. His work carried out in the field of Fertilizer brings together such families of science as Nutrient management, Nutrient, Acrisol and Compost. His Microbial inoculant research incorporates elements of Grain yield and Bradyrhizobium.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Land Use and Land Cover Changes in the Owabi Reservoir Catchment, Ghana: Implications for Livelihoods and Management (6 citations)
  • Combined use of millet glume-derived compost and mineral fertilizer enhances soil microbial biomass and pearl millet yields in a low-input millet cropping system in Niger (5 citations)
  • LEGUME-MAIZE ROTATION OR RELAY? OPTIONS FOR ECOLOGICAL INTENSIFICATION OF SMALLHOLDER FARMS IN THE GUINEA SAVANNA OF NORTHERN GHANA. (5 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Pit latrine, Environmental engineering, Fertilizer and Legume. His work deals with themes such as Rhizobia, Soil water and Bradyrhizobium, which intersect with Agronomy. His research ties Environmentally friendly and Environmental engineering together.

His Fertilizer research integrates issues from Compost, Acrisol, Semi-deciduous, Factorial experiment and Nutrient. Robert C. Abaidoo has researched Legume in several fields, including Cropping, Crop yield, Soil fertility and Sowing. His Soil fertility study incorporates themes from Crop productivity and Crop failure.
