Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture

Victor O. Sadras mostly deals with Agronomy, Water-use efficiency, Crop, Sunflower and Yield. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Soil water, Evapotranspiration and Transpiration. His Water-use efficiency study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Growing season, Sowing, Cropping, Pasture and Photosynthetically active radiation.

The various areas that Victor O. Sadras examines in his Crop study include Agriculture, Legume and Decomposer. His study looks at the relationship between Sunflower and topics such as Biomass, which overlap with Population density and Leaf area index. His research integrates issues of Cultivar, Hybrid and Phenology in his study of Yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Evolutionary aspects of the trade-off between seed size and number in crops (336 citations)
  • Soil-water thresholds for the responses of leaf expansion and gas exchange: A review (281 citations)
  • Benchmarking water-use efficiency of rainfed wheat in dry environments (206 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Horticulture, Crop, Crop yield and Yield. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Soil water and Evapotranspiration. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Botany and Phenology.

His Crop research incorporates themes from Biomass, Canopy and Shoot. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, Agriculture and Yield as well as Crop yield. His work focuses on many connections between Cultivar and other disciplines, such as Sunflower, that overlap with his field of interest in Anthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (74.25%)
  • Horticulture (33.23%)
  • Crop (24.55%)

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

  • Agronomy (74.25%)
  • Crop (24.55%)
  • Yield (19.46%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Crop, Yield, Horticulture and Cultivar. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Biomass and Evapotranspiration. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Fertilizer, Dry matter, Canopy, Point of delivery and Tillage.

His Yield research includes elements of Water stress and Grain yield. In his research, Tannin, Aroma, Vine and Vintage is intimately related to Wine, which falls under the overarching field of Horticulture. His Cultivar research focuses on Stomatal conductance and how it relates to Transpiration, Adaptation, Climate change scenario, Allium sativum and Genetic diversity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comparison of sensitive stages of wheat, barley, canola, chickpea and field pea to temperature and water stress across Australia (46 citations)
  • Water productivity of rainfed maize and wheat: A local to global perspective. (29 citations)
  • Water use efficiency in perennial forage species: Interactions between nitrogen nutrition and water deficit (26 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Crop, Yield, Crop yield and Biomass. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water and Evapotranspiration. His work deals with themes such as Canola and Water-use efficiency, which intersect with Evapotranspiration.

His work carried out in the field of Crop brings together such families of science as Fertilizer, Dry matter, Cropping, Agriculture and Tillage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Range, Mediterranean climate and Grain yield in addition to Yield. Victor O. Sadras interconnects Yield, Genetic gain, Human fertilization and Plant breeding in the investigation of issues within Biomass.
