  • 2003 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Tillage, Plough, Crop rotation and No-till farming. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Mollisol. In his study, Multiple cropping, Soil organic matter and Crop residue is strongly linked to Soil management, which falls under the umbrella field of Tillage.

Tony J. Vyn has researched Plough in several fields, including Soil structure, Mulch-till, Loam and Minimum tillage. His study looks at the relationship between Loam and topics such as Soil carbon, which overlap with Growing season. His Fertilizer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dry matter, Red Clover and Hybrid.

His most cited work include:

  • Physiological perspectives of changes over time in maize yield dependency on nitrogen uptake and associated nitrogen efficiencies: A review (277 citations)
  • Soil carbon and nitrogen accumulation with long-term no-till versus moldboard plowing overestimated with tilled-zone sampling depths (195 citations)
  • A comprehensive study of plant density consequences on nitrogen uptake dynamics of maize plants from vegetative to reproductive stages (178 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Tillage, No-till farming, Hybrid and Plough. He combines Agronomy and Mathematics in his studies. His work deals with themes such as Mulch-till and Soil water, Loam, which intersect with Tillage.

Tony J. Vyn combines subjects such as Cover crop, Soil carbon, Alfisol and Conventional tillage with his study of No-till farming. Tony J. Vyn interconnects Biomass and Dry matter, Animal science in the investigation of issues within Hybrid. His study in Plough is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seedbed, Crop rotation, Mollisol and Growing season.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (74.60%)
  • Tillage (39.68%)
  • No-till farming (22.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Agronomy (74.60%)
  • Hybrid (17.46%)
  • Animal science (11.90%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Hybrid, Animal science, Fertilizer and Nitrous oxide. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nitrogen cycle and Maturity. His Hybrid research incorporates elements of Zea mays, Grain yield and N application.

His work in Zea mays addresses issues such as Soil nitrogen, which are connected to fields such as N fertilizer, Stage and Crop yield. In general Animal science study, his work on Dry matter often relates to the realm of Urea, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His work carried out in the field of Growing season brings together such families of science as Biomass and Grain filling.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Achieving Lower Nitrogen Balance and Higher Nitrogen Recovery Efficiency Reduces Nitrous Oxide Emissions in North America's Maize Cropping Systems. (32 citations)
  • Late‐Split Nitrogen Applications Increased Maize Plant Nitrogen Recovery but not Yield under Moderate to High Nitrogen Rates (31 citations)
  • Simultaneous gains in grain yield and nitrogen efficiency over 70 years of maize genetic improvement. (22 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer
  • Botany

Tony J. Vyn focuses on Agronomy, Hybrid, Fertilizer, N application and Grain yield. In his research, Tony J. Vyn performs multidisciplinary study on Agronomy and Mathematics. His work blends Hybrid and Yield studies together.

His research brings together the fields of Dry matter and Fertilizer. In his research on the topic of Grain yield, Animal science is strongly related with Relative yield. His Animal science study incorporates themes from Agricultural soil science, Soil chemistry and Field capacity, Water content.
