Her study ties her expertise on Nitrogen fixation together with the subject of Horticulture. The Nitrogen fixation study combines topics in areas such as Irrigation water, Cane and Seedling. Her Microbial inoculant study also includes fields such as

  • Rhizobacteria, Fertilizer and Poaceae most often made with reference to Plant physiology,
  • Crop yield that intertwine with fields like Human fertilization.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria on grain yield, protein content, and urea-15 N recovery by maize in a Cerrado Oxisol (27 citations)
  • Rooting and growth of pre-germinated sugarcane seedlings inoculated with diazotrophic bacteria (7 citations)
  • Inoculation with five diazotrophs alters nitrogen metabolism during the initial growth of sugarcane varieties with contrasting responses to added nitrogen (5 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Inoculation, Microbial inoculant, Shoot, Horticulture and Herbaspirillum seropedicae. Her work carried out in the field of Inoculation brings together such families of science as Fertilizer, Agronomy, Soil water, Rhizobacteria and Plant physiology. Veronica Massena Reis has researched Microbial inoculant in several fields, including Botany, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, DNA and Phylogenetics.

She combines subjects such as Germination, Diazotroph, Nitrogen cycle, Nitrate reductase and Seedling with her study of Shoot. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nitrogen fixation and Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans. Her Herbaspirillum seropedicae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Food science, Bioreactor and Yeast extract.
