Robert M. Boddey

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Agronomy

His main research concerns Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Sugar cane, Botany and Diazotroph. Robert M. Boddey has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil organic matter and No-till farming. His Nitrogen fixation research includes elements of Cultivar, Poaceae, Crop and Microbial inoculant.

His Botany research includes themes of Burkholderia phymatum and Paraburkholderia. His studies in Diazotroph integrate themes in fields like Endophyte and Plant physiology. His work carried out in the field of Crop rotation brings together such families of science as Soil water, Soil science, Soil carbon and Oxisol.

His most cited work include:

• Global inputs of biological nitrogen fixation in agricultural systems (886 citations)
• The contributions of nitrogen-fixing crop legumes to the productivity of agricultural systems. (402 citations)
• Contribution of nitrogen fixation to sugar cane: nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-balance estimates. (366 citations)

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

Robert M. Boddey mainly investigates Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Legume, Fertilizer and Crop. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil organic matter and Inoculation. The Soil organic matter study combines topics in areas such as No-till farming, Soil carbon and Crop rotation.

His Nitrogen fixation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rhizobium and Cultivar, Poaceae, Botany. Robert M. Boddey regularly ties together related areas like Green manure in his Legume studies. His Forage study combines topics in areas such as Grazing, Animal science and Litter.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (63.49%)
• Nitrogen fixation (38.10%)
• Legume (15.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Agronomy (63.49%)
• Forage (11.11%)
• Arachis pintoi (5.29%)

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

Robert M. Boddey focuses on Agronomy, Forage, Arachis pintoi, Legume and Fertilizer. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Nitrogen fixation, Soil carbon and Nitrogen cycle. His research in Nitrogen fixation intersects with topics in Inoculation, Rhizobium and Microbial inoculant.

His studies in Forage integrate themes in fields like Litter, Canopy and Grazing. The concepts of his Legume study are interwoven with issues in Canavalia ensiformis, Crotalaria juncea, Green manure, Organic farming and Mucuna pruriens. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon sequestration, Cropping, Livestock and Tillage as well as Fertilizer.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Strategies for the use of urease and nitrification inhibitors with urea: Impact on N2O and NH3 emissions, fertilizer-15N recovery and maize yield in a tropical soil (39 citations)
• Impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria on grain yield, protein content, and urea-15 N recovery by maize in a Cerrado Oxisol (27 citations)
• Integrated crop–livestock–forestry systems: prospects for a sustainable agricultural intensification (19 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Agronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Nitrogen fixation, Grazing, Inoculation and Legume. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Acrisol and Soil carbon. Robert M. Boddey interconnects Arachis hypogaea, Crotalaria juncea, Canavalia ensiformis and Mucuna pruriens in the investigation of issues within Nitrogen fixation.

His work carried out in the field of Grazing brings together such families of science as Arachis pintoi, Brachiaria, Forage and Vegetation. His work focuses on many connections between Inoculation and other disciplines, such as Crop, that overlap with his field of interest in Soil classification, Diazotroph, Biofuel, Yield and Vigna. His study in Fertilizer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Oxisol, Rhizobacteria, Plant physiology and Poaceae.
