Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Botany, Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Chitin and Biological pest control. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Meloidogyne incognita, Heterodera and Horticulture. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Helicotylenchus dihystera and Soil conditioner.

His Rhizosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microorganism, Phyllosphere, Mucuna and Nematology. The various areas that Rodrigo Rodriguez-Kabana examines in his Biological pest control study include Nematode and Arachis hypogaea. His study in Nematode focuses on Meloidogyne arenaria in particular.

His most cited work include:

  • Organic and inorganic nitrogen amendments to soil as nematode suppressants. (276 citations)
  • Biological Control of Fusarium Wilt on Cotton by Use of Endophytic Bacteria (264 citations)
  • Plant root-bacterial interactions in biological control of soilborne diseases and potential extension to systemic and foliar diseases (253 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Meloidogyne arenaria, Horticulture, Botany and Root-knot nematode. He combines subjects such as Heterodera and Nematology with his study of Agronomy. His Heterodera research includes elements of Soybean cyst nematode and Terra incognita.

He has researched Meloidogyne arenaria in several fields, including Integrated pest management, Sowing, Cultural control, Arachis hypogaea and Cucurbita pepo. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Soil water and Rhizosphere, Rhizobacteria. While the research belongs to areas of Root-knot nematode, Rodrigo Rodriguez-Kabana spends his time largely on the problem of Meloidogyne incognita, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Pratylenchus brachyurus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (64.95%)
  • Meloidogyne arenaria (31.44%)
  • Horticulture (23.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2017)?

  • Agronomy (64.95%)
  • Rhizosphere (6.70%)
  • Horticulture (23.71%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Horticulture, Crop and Botany. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Nematode and Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Rhizosphere brings together such families of science as Microorganism, Biological pest control, Root-knot nematode and Microbial population biology.

The Horticulture study which covers Aqueous solution that intersects with Acre and 2-Propenal. His Botany study typically links adjacent topics like Rhizobacteria. His Rhizobacteria study incorporates themes from Meloidogyne incognita, Lycopersicon and Shoot.

Between 1998 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Plant root-bacterial interactions in biological control of soilborne diseases and potential extension to systemic and foliar diseases (253 citations)
  • Chitin-mediated changes in bacterial communities of the soil, rhizosphere and within roots of cotton in relation to nematode control (174 citations)
  • APPLICATION FOR RHIZOBACTERIA IN TRANSPLANT PRODUCTION AND YIELD ENHANCEMENT (61 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Rhizosphere, Botany, Agronomy, Rhizobacteria and Soil water are his primary areas of study. His Rhizosphere research incorporates themes from Microorganism, Biological pest control, Mucuna and Microbial population biology. His research in Microbial population biology focuses on subjects like Fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, which are connected to Root-knot nematode.

His research integrates issues of Meloidogyne javanica and Pratylenchus brachyurus in his study of Botany. Rodrigo Rodriguez-Kabana studies Agronomy, focusing on Cultural control in particular. His Rhizobacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Meloidogyne incognita and Lycopersicon, Shoot, Horticulture.
