Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

Shu Fukai focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Drought tolerance, Panicle and Oryza sativa. His works in Phenology, Dry matter, Irrigation, Yield and Breeding program are all subjects of inquiry into Agronomy. His Irrigation study incorporates themes from Water use and Yield.

His research in Cultivar intersects with topics in Upland rice, Yield, Canopy, Grain yield and Genotype. His Panicle research includes themes of Soil water and Sterility. His work deals with themes such as Water balance and Ecosystem, which intersect with Oryza sativa.

His most cited work include:

  • Development of drought-resistant cultivars using physiomorphological traits in rice (458 citations)
  • Processes determining intercrop productivity and yields of component crops (249 citations)
  • Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of drought-resistance traits for development of rice cultivars adapted to rainfed environments (222 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Cultivar, Horticulture, Agroforestry and Irrigation. Shu Fukai has included themes like Soil water and Lowland rice in his Agronomy study. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Canopy, Phenology, Panicle, Oryza sativa and Yield.

His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Plant nutrition, Water use, Pasture, Sterility and Poaceae. Shu Fukai has researched Agroforestry in several fields, including Upland rice, Agriculture and Productivity. His Irrigation research integrates issues from Dry season, Crop yield and Wet season.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (73.81%)
  • Cultivar (22.62%)
  • Horticulture (22.32%)

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

  • Agronomy (73.81%)
  • Cynodon (4.76%)
  • Irrigation (13.39%)

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

Shu Fukai mostly deals with Agronomy, Cynodon, Irrigation, Cultivar and Starch. The various areas that Shu Fukai examines in his Agronomy study include Canopy and Genetic variation. His Cynodon research includes elements of Drought resistance, Soil water and Ecotype.

His studies examine the connections between Irrigation and genetics, as well as such issues in Transpiration, with regards to Straw. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stolon and Shoot. His study in Plant breeding is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oryza sativa, Wet season and Monogastric.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evaluation of reduced-tillering (tin) wheat lines in managed, terminal water deficit environments (34 citations)
  • Drought resistance and soil water extraction of a perennial C4 grass: contributions of root and rhizome traits (28 citations)
  • Drought resistance of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) ecotypes collected from different climatic zones (21 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Irrigation, Cultivar, Drought tolerance and Cynodon. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Canopy and Genetic variation. His Irrigation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Water balance, Crop and Transpiration.

His research on Cultivar concerns the broader Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Water use, Crop yield, Stomatal conductance and Plant breeding in his study of Drought tolerance. The concepts of his Plant breeding study are interwoven with issues in Dry season, Panicle, Oryza sativa and Sowing.
