Roger Sylvester-Bradley

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Agronomy
• Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Poaceae, Crop, Fertilizer and Cultivar. Agronomy and Canopy are commonly linked in his work. The various areas that Roger Sylvester-Bradley examines in his Poaceae study include Biomass, Crop yield and Yield.

Roger Sylvester-Bradley interconnects Food chain, Dry matter, Phosphorus management and Inorganic phosphorus in the investigation of issues within Crop. His Fertilizer research focuses on Hordeum vulgare and how it relates to Water-use efficiency and Root system. His Cultivar research incorporates elements of Biomass, Yield and Temperate climate.

His most cited work include:

• Physiological processes associated with wheat yield progress in the UK (446 citations)
• Raising yield potential of wheat. III. Optimizing partitioning to grain while maintaining lodging resistance (347 citations)
• Understanding and Reducing Lodging in Cereals (281 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop, Fertilizer, Cultivar and Poaceae. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Soil water and Canopy. His Crop research integrates issues from Tonne, Dry matter, Growing season, Soil classification and Topsoil.

Roger Sylvester-Bradley combines subjects such as Field experiment, Botany, Leaching and Animal science with his study of Fertilizer. His work on Anthesis as part of general Cultivar study is frequently linked to Specific weight, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as photoperiodism and Plant breeding, which intersect with Poaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (70.87%)
• Crop (31.07%)
• Fertilizer (26.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2019)?

• Agronomy (70.87%)
• Agricultural engineering (5.83%)
• Nitrous oxide (5.83%)

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

Roger Sylvester-Bradley mostly deals with Agronomy, Agricultural engineering, Nitrous oxide, Yield and Crop. In general Agronomy study, his work on Phosphorite often relates to the realm of Yield, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Nitrous oxide study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Mineralization and Nitrification.

His Nitrification study combines topics in areas such as Soil pH, Nitrate and Alkali soil. In the subject of general Yield, his work in Yield gap is often linked to Variable, thereby combining diverse domains of study. While the research belongs to areas of Crop, he spends his time largely on the problem of Cropping, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Greenhouse gas, Nitrogen fertilizer, Nitrogen requirement and Essential nutrient.

Between 2015 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Cereal yield gaps across Europe (46 citations)
• Reducing soil phosphorus fertility brings potential long-term environmental gains: A UK analysis (24 citations)
• Achieving Sustainable Phosphorus Use in Food Systems through Circularisation (23 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Crop, Agronomy, Food security, Nitrogen fertilizer and Nitrogen requirement. His work deals with themes such as Crop yield, Annual percentage yield, Irrigation and Yield, which intersect with Crop. Glume, Lemma, Dry matter, Cultivar and Plant stem are subfields of Agronomy in which his conducts study.

His Food security research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Circular economy and Sustainability. His studies deal with areas such as Cropping and Greenhouse gas as well as Nitrogen fertilizer.
