Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Botany
Ecology
Agriculture

Sofia Noemi Chulze mainly investigates Fusarium, Botany, Mycotoxin, Horticulture and Biological pest control. Her work on Head blight and Trichothecene as part of general Fusarium research is often related to Chemotype and Bacillus subtilis, thus linking different fields of science. Botany and Butylated hydroxyanisole are commonly linked in her work.

Her Mycotoxin research incorporates themes from Contamination, Fungi imperfecti and Aspergillus. Her Horticulture research includes elements of Wine, Ochratoxin and Agronomy. Her work carried out in the field of Biological pest control brings together such families of science as Field trial, Ochratoxin A and Food science.

Her most cited work include:

Strategies to reduce mycotoxin levels in maize during storage: a review. (172 citations)
One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use (152 citations)
Biological control by Trichoderma species of Fusarium solani causing peanut brown root rot under field conditions (147 citations)

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

Sofia Noemi Chulze mainly focuses on Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Botany, Food science and Horticulture. Sofia Noemi Chulze interconnects Contamination, Fungi imperfecti, Aspergillus and Aflatoxin in the investigation of issues within Mycotoxin. Her Aflatoxin research incorporates elements of Arachis hypogaea and Aspergillus flavus.

Her Fusarium study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Agronomy. Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Species complex and Phylogenetic tree. Her studies deal with areas such as Sunflower, Water activity, Alternaria alternata and Antioxidant as well as Food science.

She most often published in these fields:

Mycotoxin (61.80%)
Fusarium (56.18%)
Botany (51.69%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Fusarium (56.18%)
Mycotoxin (61.80%)
Horticulture (32.58%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fusarium, Mycotoxin, Horticulture, Biological pest control and Agronomy. Her Fusarium research integrates issues from Water activity, Species complex and Animal feed. Her work on Fumonisin and Mycotoxin contamination as part of general Mycotoxin research is frequently linked to Productivity and Human health, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen, Ecosystem, Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin. Her Biological pest control research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Growing region and Tebuconazole, Fungicide. Her study in the field of Crop is also linked to topics like Preharvest.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Fumonisins and fumonisin-producing Fusarium occurrence in wheat and wheat by products: A review (27 citations)
Fumonisins and fumonisin-producing Fusarium occurrence in wheat and wheat by products: A review (27 citations)
Fusarium head blight and mycotoxins in wheat: prevention and control strategies across the food chain (21 citations)

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

Botany
Agriculture
Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Agronomy, Horticulture and Legume. Her biological study focuses on Fusarium proliferatum. Sofia Noemi Chulze works mostly in the field of Fusarium, limiting it down to topics relating to Integrated pest management and, in certain cases, Head blight, Zearalenone, Food chain and Pathogen, as a part of the same area of interest.

The concepts of her Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Staple food, Fumonisin and Crop production. She has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Livestock, Sorghum, Species complex and Animal feed. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mycotoxin contamination and Biotechnology.
