Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

Udo Blum spends much of his time researching Allelopathy, Botany, Soil water, Phenolic acid and Ferulic acid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry and Seedling. Food science is closely connected to Nutrient in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Botany.

His work in the fields of Soil water, such as Root uptake, intersects with other areas such as Heuristic function, Experimental model and Field. Udo Blum integrates many fields in his works, including Phenolic acid, Bioassay, Vanillic acid, Phenols, Horticulture and Soil pH. Udo Blum focuses mostly in the field of Ferulic acid, narrowing it down to topics relating to Potassium and, in certain cases, Cucumis and Cucurbitaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for Inhibitory Allelopathic Interactions Involving Phenolic Acids in Field Soils: Concepts vs. an Experimental Model (236 citations)
  • Microbial populations and phenolic acids in soil (181 citations)
  • Allelopathic Interactions Involving Phenolic Acids (167 citations)

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

Udo Blum mainly focuses on Allelopathy, Botany, Ferulic acid, Phenolic acid and Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Crimson clover, Rhizosphere and Seedling in addition to Allelopathy. His Soil water research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry and Chromatography.

His Botany study deals with Nutrient intersecting with Biomass. His study focuses on the intersection of Ferulic acid and fields such as Cucurbitaceae with connections in the field of Organic matter. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ozone and Water content.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Allelopathy (42.86%)
  • Botany (38.10%)
  • Ferulic acid (36.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Allelopathy (42.86%)
  • Simple (4.76%)
  • Cucumis (10.71%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Allelopathy, Simple, Cucumis, Environmental chemistry and Seedling. His study with Allelopathy involves better knowledge in Botany. His work often combines Botany and Subject matter studies.

Udo Blum conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Cucumis and Phenolic acid. The concepts of his Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Column and Soil water, Soil horizon. His Seedling research includes elements of Microorganism, Soil type and Ferulic acid.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions (14 citations)
  • Reflections Regarding Plant-Plant Interactions, Communications and Allelopathic Interactions with an Emphasis on Allelopathic Interactions (2 citations)
  • Plant-Plant Allelopathic Interactions III: Partitioning and Seedling Effects of Phenolic Acids as Related to their Physicochemical and Conditional Properties (2 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Allelopathy, Botany, Seedling, Mathematics and Subject matter. Direct transfer, Biochemical engineering, Terminology and Computer science are fields of study that overlap with his Allelopathy research.
