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)

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.
