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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Drought tolerance, Microorganism, Agronomy and Shoot. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Symbiosis and Rhizobacteria. The Drought tolerance study combines topics in areas such as Bacillus thuringiensis, Microbial inoculant and Stomatal conductance.

His Microorganism study frequently involves adjacent topics like Inoculation. Rosario Azcón combines subjects such as Soil water and Arbuscular mycorrhizal with his study of Agronomy. In his study, Hydric soil, Soil microbiology and Rhizosphere is strongly linked to Bacillus megaterium, which falls under the umbrella field of Sugar beet.
