Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Soil water

Sukhdev S. Malhi mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Fertilizer, Crop yield and Tillage. His research brings together the fields of Chernozem and Agronomy. The various areas that he examines in his Soil water study include Hydrology and Total organic carbon.

His studies in Fertilizer integrate themes in fields like Essential nutrient and Nutrient interaction. His Crop yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Irrigation and Water-use efficiency. His Tillage research includes elements of No-till farming, Crop residue, Leaching and Soil quality.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of mineral nutrition in minimizing cadmium accumulation by plants (347 citations)
  • Tillage, nitrogen and crop residue effects on crop yield, nutrient uptake, soil quality, and greenhouse gas emissions (247 citations)
  • Nitrogen fertilization management for no-till cereal production in the Canadian Great Plains: a review (220 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Fertilizer, Soil water, Chernozem and Crop yield. His research on Agronomy frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Loam. His study in Fertilizer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dry matter, Forage, Manure and Human fertilization.

His study in the field of Soil test, Soil fertility and Soil carbon also crosses realms of Organic matter. His studies deal with areas such as Soil type, Botany, Bromus inermis, Udic moisture regime and Animal science as well as Chernozem. The Crop yield study combines topics in areas such as Poaceae, Plant nutrition and Sowing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (85.19%)
  • Fertilizer (39.81%)
  • Soil water (31.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Agronomy (85.19%)
  • Fertilizer (39.81%)
  • Tillage (18.52%)

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

Sukhdev S. Malhi focuses on Agronomy, Fertilizer, Tillage, Chernozem and Loam. He interconnects Soil classification and Soil water in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. Water content is closely connected to Mulch in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Soil water.

The concepts of his Fertilizer study are interwoven with issues in Field experiment, Dry matter, Manure and Human fertilization. His Tillage research is multidisciplinary, relying on both No-till farming, Crop residue, Coated urea and Soil horizon. His research investigates the connection between Loam and topics such as Intercropping that intersect with issues in Organic farming.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of gravel–sand mulch, plastic mulch and ridge and furrow rainfall harvesting system combinations on water use efficiency, soil temperature and watermelon yield in a semi-arid Loess Plateau of northwestern China (69 citations)
  • Long-term tillage, straw management and N fertilization effects on quantity and quality of organic C and N in a Black Chernozem soil (56 citations)
  • Long-term straw management and N fertilizer rate effects on quantity and quality of organic C and N and some chemical properties in two contrasting soils in Western Canada (53 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

Sukhdev S. Malhi mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Tillage, Chernozem and Soil horizon. Agronomy connects with themes related to Crop residue in his study. His Soil water study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Mulch and Water content.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Soil type under Chernozem, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Soil classification and Botany. His Soil horizon study incorporates themes from Loam, Anthesis and Growing season. In his research on the topic of Fertilizer, Soil quality, Animal science and Hordeum vulgare is strongly related with No-till farming.
