Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Robert McSorley focuses on Agronomy, Meloidogyne incognita, Cover crop, Paratrichodorus minor and Crotalaria juncea. His work in Agronomy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Soil food web. In general Meloidogyne incognita study, his work on Terra incognita often relates to the realm of Aeschynomene americana, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His studies deal with areas such as Chloropicrin, Fumigation, Mulch and Horticulture as well as Paratrichodorus minor. Robert McSorley has researched Crotalaria juncea in several fields, including Vicia sativa and Lupinus angustifolius. His work in Crop addresses issues such as Agroforestry, which are connected to fields such as Agriculture, Cropping, Pest control and Weed control.

His most cited work include:

  • Green Manure Approaches to Crop Production: A Synthesis (304 citations)
  • Adaptation of Soil Solarization to the Integrated Management of Soilborne Pests of Tomato Under Humid Conditions (135 citations)
  • Nematode communities as indicators of status and processes of a soil ecosystem influenced by agricultural management practices (129 citations)

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

Robert McSorley mainly focuses on Agronomy, Horticulture, Meloidogyne incognita, Botany and Nematode. His research in Cover crop, Crop, Crotalaria juncea, Soil solarization and Weed are components of Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Weed control and Root-knot nematode in his study of Horticulture.

His study focuses on the intersection of Meloidogyne incognita and fields such as Pratylenchus with connections in the field of Cropping system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Population density and Xiphinema. The Paratrichodorus minor study combines topics in areas such as Sorghum and Belonolaimus longicaudatus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (63.89%)
  • Horticulture (28.89%)
  • Meloidogyne incognita (19.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

  • Agronomy (63.89%)
  • Horticulture (28.89%)
  • Weed (10.56%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Horticulture, Weed, Nematode and Botany. His work on Agronomy deals in particular with Soil solarization, Cover crop, Mulch, Cultivar and Crotalaria juncea. The study incorporates disciplines such as Meloidogyne incognita and Ecology in addition to Horticulture.

His research investigates the connection between Meloidogyne incognita and topics such as Crop yield that intersect with problems in Chloropicrin. His study looks at the relationship between Weed and fields such as Crop, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Nematode is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cucumis and Soil quality.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Using marigold (Tagetes spp.) as a cover crop to protect crops from plant-parasitic nematodes (103 citations)
  • Overview of organic amendments for management of plant-parasitic nematodes, with case studies from Florida. (76 citations)
  • Comparison of Water Displacement and WinRHIZO Software for Plant Root Parameter Assessment. (41 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Robert McSorley mostly deals with Agronomy, Crotalaria juncea, Weed, Mulch and Horticulture. Robert McSorley combines subjects such as Root-knot nematode and Pittosporum tobira with his study of Agronomy. His Root-knot nematode research incorporates elements of Crop yield, Meloidogyne incognita, Terra incognita and Yield.

Robert McSorley interconnects Pitfall trap, Soil solarization and Richardia scabra in the investigation of issues within Crotalaria juncea. His work carried out in the field of Weed brings together such families of science as Randomized block design and Bark. His work on Rootstock, Solanum and Heirloom tomato as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Pcr cloning and Intergenic region, bridging the gap between disciplines.
