Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

Roland J. Buresh focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Yield, Mathematics and Grain yield. When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, his work on Green manure is frequently linked to work in Oryza, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Green manure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hectare, Irrigation and Ammonia volatilization from urea.

His Fertilizer study also includes

  • Paddy field that intertwine with fields like Crop yield,
  • Nutrient management which connect with Cropping and Yield. As a member of one scientific family, Roland J. Buresh mostly works in the field of Grain yield, focusing on N management and, on occasion, N application. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sesbania sesban, Sesbania, Soil fertility and Monoculture in addition to Subsoil.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil Fertility Replenishment in Africa: An Investment in Natural Resource Capital (638 citations)
  • Strategies for overcoming low agronomic nitrogen use efficiency in irrigated rice systems in China (369 citations)
  • Improving nitrogen fertilization in rice by site-specific N management. A review (269 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Mathematics, Paddy field and Agroforestry. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Crop residue. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient management, Yield and Yield.

His Agroforestry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil organic matter, Grevillea, Tithonia and Agricultural science. His studies in Green manure integrate themes in fields like Sesbania, Sesbania rostrata, Soil fertility and Nitrogen balance. Roland J. Buresh combines subjects such as Growing season, Summer fallow and Irrigation, Water-use efficiency with his study of Crop.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (86.54%)
  • Fertilizer (36.54%)
  • Mathematics (22.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Agronomy (86.54%)
  • Crop (15.38%)
  • Fertilizer (36.54%)

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

Roland J. Buresh mainly investigates Agronomy, Crop, Fertilizer, Growing season and Irrigation. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Eddy covariance and Crop residue. His research integrates issues of Nutrient management, Loam and Soil classification in his study of Fertilizer.

His research in Growing season intersects with topics in Photosynthesis, Grain yield, Grain filling, Shoot and Breeding program. His work deals with themes such as Crop yield, Soil texture, Evapotranspiration and Water potential, which intersect with Irrigation. His Water-use efficiency research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Crop growth, Cropping system, Agroforestry and Agricultural science.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Soil Fertility Replenishment in Africa: An Investment in Natural Resource Capital (638 citations)
  • Root and shoot traits for rice varieties with higher grain yield and higher nitrogen use efficiency at lower nitrogen rates application (110 citations)
  • Methane and nitrous oxide emissions from flooded rice fields as affected by water and straw management between rice crops (62 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Paddy field, Growing season, Eddy covariance and Crop. Much of his study explores Agronomy relationship to Photosynthesis. His Paddy field study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Sink.

His Growing season research incorporates themes from Grain yield, Grain filling, Shoot and Breeding program. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crop coefficient, Evapotranspiration, Irrigation and Transpiration. The Crop study combines topics in areas such as Crop residue, Tillage, Straw and Summer fallow.
