Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Vittorio Rossi mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Fusarium, Agronomy and PEST analysis. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Vineyard, Biological dispersal, Phytoplasma and Veterinary medicine. In the field of Horticulture, his study on Conidium and Fungicide overlaps with subjects such as European commission.

His Fusarium study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Spore. His PEST analysis research integrates issues from Phytosanitary certification, Agroforestry, Risk analysis and Identification. His Identification research focuses on subjects like Eutetranychus orientalis, which are linked to Host.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidance on a harmonised framework for pest risk assessment and the identification and evaluation of pest risk management options by EFSA (144 citations)
  • A critical review of plant protection tools for reducing pesticide use on grapevine and new perspectives for the implementation of IPM in viticulture (99 citations)
  • Modelling the impact of climate change on the interaction between grapevine and its pests and pathogens: European grapevine moth and powdery mildew (88 citations)

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

Botany, PEST analysis, Horticulture, Quarantine and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. His studies link Biological dispersal with Botany. His PEST analysis research incorporates themes from Ecology, Host, Agroforestry, Phytosanitary certification and Toxicology.

His study explores the link between Horticulture and topics such as Spore that cross with problems in Relative humidity. His Agronomy study focuses on Crop in particular. His Plasmopara viticola research includes themes of Oospore and Sporangium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (30.07%)
  • PEST analysis (27.67%)
  • Horticulture (27.02%)

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

  • PEST analysis (27.67%)
  • Quarantine (14.81%)
  • Horticulture (27.02%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in PEST analysis, Quarantine, Horticulture, Agroforestry and Botrytis cinerea. As a part of the same scientific family, Vittorio Rossi mostly works in the field of PEST analysis, focusing on Host and, on occasion, Solanum. Vittorio Rossi combines subjects such as Phytosanitary certification, Toxicology, Ornamental plant and Tree health with his study of Quarantine.

His research investigates the connection between Horticulture and topics such as Spore that intersect with problems in Vineyard. In his study, Biotechnology and Integrated pest management is strongly linked to Biological pest control, which falls under the umbrella field of Botrytis cinerea. His work in Conidium addresses subjects such as Biological dispersal, which are connected to disciplines such as Growing season.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidance on quantitative pest risk assessment (73 citations)
  • Updated pest categorisation of Xylella fastidiosa (26 citations)
  • A Real-Time PCR Assay for the Quantification of Plasmopara viticola Oospores in Grapevine Leaves (12 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Vittorio Rossi mostly deals with Horticulture, PEST analysis, Botrytis, Botrytis cinerea and Fungicide. His Spore research extends to Horticulture, which is thematically connected. Host, Ornamental plant, Crop and Agronomy is closely connected to Quarantine in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of PEST analysis.

He has included themes like Host plants, Biotechnology, Biological pest control and Veraison in his Botrytis study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vineyard, Weather data and Disease severity. The concepts of his Fungicide study are interwoven with issues in Multiple risk factors, Key, Crop protection and Decision support system.
