Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Ecology
Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Fusarium oxysporum, Plant disease, Asparagus and Botany. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Inoculation and Fusarium wilt. His work on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. asparagi as part of general Fusarium oxysporum research is frequently linked to Disease severity, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Asparagus research includes themes of Fusarium and Root rot. His research integrates issues of Taxon, Ecology and Nomenclature in his study of Fusarium. His Botany research incorporates elements of Virus and Plant virus.

His most cited work include:

Mineral nutrition and plant disease. (250 citations)
A review of the use of engineered nanomaterials to suppress plant disease and enhance crop yield (242 citations)
One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use (152 citations)

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

Botany, Fusarium, Agronomy, Horticulture and Fusarium oxysporum are his primary areas of study. His Botany course of study focuses on Spartina alterniflora and Salt marsh. The various areas that he examines in his Fusarium study include Asparagus, Stem rot and Fusarium solani.

His work deals with themes such as Pratylenchus penetrans and Host, which intersect with Agronomy. His study looks at the relationship between Horticulture and topics such as Pathogen, which overlap with Fungus. The concepts of his Fusarium oxysporum study are interwoven with issues in Potting soil, Inoculation, Citrullus lanatus and Root rot.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (36.61%)
Fusarium (28.57%)
Agronomy (27.68%)

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

Horticulture (27.68%)
Nutrient (8.93%)
Fusarium oxysporum (26.79%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Nutrient, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium wilt and Animal science. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crop yield, Moisture capacity and Bioaccumulation. His work focuses on many connections between Fusarium oxysporum and other disciplines, such as Citrullus lanatus, that overlap with his field of interest in Nuclear chemistry.

His Fusarium wilt research integrates issues from Biomass, Potting soil and Fungicide. His research in Fusarium intersects with topics in Dry weight and Coreopsis. The subject of his Root rot research is within the realm of Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Recent advances in nano-enabled fertilizers and pesticides: a critical review of mechanisms of action (80 citations)
The future of nanotechnology in plant pathology. (71 citations)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles alleviate drought-induced alterations in sorghum performance, nutrient acquisition, and grain fortification (33 citations)

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

Botany
Ecology
Fungus

Wade H. Elmer focuses on Nutrient, Animal science, Crop yield, Fusarium oxysporum and Copper. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fertilizer and Germination. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Panicle, Plant nutrition and Shoot.

His Crop yield study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agriculture, Crop productivity, Biotechnology and Bioaccumulation. His Fusarium oxysporum research is included under the broader classification of Horticulture. His Fusarium wilt research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass, Potting soil and Fungicide.
