What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Virupax C. Baligar mainly focuses on Agronomy, Nutrient, Soil water, Dry matter and Shoot. Specifically, his work in Agronomy is concerned with the study of Crop yield. The various areas that Virupax C. Baligar examines in his Crop yield study include Nutrient management, Leaching and Crop.

His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cultivar, Poaceae, Botany and Horticulture. His Soil water research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry, Agriculture and Environmental engineering. His Shoot research incorporates themes from Animal science, Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens.

His most cited work include:

  • ENHANCING NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY IN CROP PLANTS (705 citations)
  • NUTRIENT USE EFFICIENCY IN PLANTS (629 citations)
  • Growth and mineral nutrition of field crops (550 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Soil water, Soil pH, Nutrient and Shoot. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Soil fertility and Oxisol. His work in Soil water covers topics such as Environmental chemistry which are related to areas like Mineralogy and Soil chemistry.

His Soil pH study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coal combustion products, Soil management, Inceptisol and Flue-gas desulfurization. His work investigates the relationship between Nutrient and topics such as Poaceae that intersect with problems in Oryza sativa. He has researched Shoot in several fields, including Dry weight, Dry matter, Cultivar and Trifolium repens.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (58.18%)
  • Soil water (38.64%)
  • Soil pH (25.91%)

  • Agronomy (58.18%)
  • Crop (9.09%)
  • Nutrient (25.00%)

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

Virupax C. Baligar spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Crop, Nutrient, Soil water and Photosynthesis. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Agroforestry, Theobroma and Phosphate. The Crop study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Husk and Point of delivery.

His Nutrient research includes themes of Environmental chemistry and Carbon dioxide. He has included themes like Cropping, Abiotic stress and Abiotic component in his Soil water study. The concepts of his Soil pH study are interwoven with issues in Alfisol, Environmental remediation and Phosphorite.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Morphological and Physiological Responses of Plants to Cadmium Toxicity: A Review (95 citations)
  • Photosynthetic, antioxidative, molecular and ultrastructural responses of young cacao plants to Cd toxicity in the soil. (54 citations)
  • Heavy metal accumulation in leaves and beans of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in major cacao growing regions in Peru. (45 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Photosynthesis, Cadmium and Botany. Virupax C. Baligar combines subjects such as Agroforestry, Mineral composition, Cropping, Theobroma and Soil horizon with his study of Agronomy. His research in Agroforestry intersects with topics in Arachis pintoi, Soil pH, Vegetation and Phosphorus management.

His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Chlorosis and Flooding. His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Food science, Anthocyanin, Human fertilization, Essential nutrient and Phenotypic plasticity. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Epidermis and Photoinhibition, intersects with other areas such as Water transport.
