Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Canola, Crop, Brassica and Soil water. His research related to Sativum, Water-use efficiency, Crop yield, Crop rotation and Fertilizer might be considered part of Agronomy. His research investigates the connection between Canola and topics such as Cropping system that intersect with problems in Intercropping and Randomized block design.

His work deals with themes such as Carbon footprint, Greenhouse gas and Crop residue, which intersect with Crop. Yantai Gan interconnects Cultivar, Yield, Point of delivery and Growing season in the investigation of issues within Brassica. His study in Soil water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Green manure and Seeding.

His most cited work include:

  • Ridge-Furrow Mulching Systems—An Innovative Technique for Boosting Crop Productivity in Semiarid Rain-Fed Environments (275 citations)
  • Regulated deficit irrigation for crop production under drought stress. A review (167 citations)
  • Canola and mustard response to short periods of temperature and water stress at different developmental stages (166 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Crop, Canola, Cultivar and Sativum. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Agronomy, Nutrient is strongly linked to Soil water. In his research, Point of delivery and Growing season is intimately related to Yield, which falls under the overarching field of Crop.

Within one scientific family, Yantai Gan focuses on topics pertaining to Brassica under Canola, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Camelina sativa, Camelina and Linum. His work in Cultivar addresses subjects such as Ascochyta, which are connected to disciplines such as Fungicide. The study incorporates disciplines such as Crop residue, Pisum and Straw in addition to Sativum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (82.13%)
  • Crop (24.64%)
  • Canola (26.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (82.13%)
  • Crop rotation (16.43%)
  • Sativum (18.84%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Crop rotation, Sativum, Crop and Canola. His study ties his expertise on Soil water together with the subject of Agronomy. His studies in Crop rotation integrate themes in fields like Cropping, Field experiment, Cropping system and Soil fertility.

His Sativum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Productivity, Pisum and Arid. Yantai Gan regularly ties together related areas like Brassica in his Canola studies. The various areas that Yantai Gan examines in his Crop yield study include Water use and Cultivar.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regulated deficit irrigation for crop production under drought stress. A review (167 citations)
  • Application of Plant-Growth-Promoting Fungi Trichoderma longibrachiatum T6 Enhances Tolerance of Wheat to Salt Stress through Improvement of Antioxidative Defense System and Gene Expression. (82 citations)
  • Farming tactics to reduce the carbon footprint of crop cultivation in semiarid areas. A review (43 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy
  • Botany

Yantai Gan focuses on Agronomy, Crop rotation, Crop yield, Crop and Soil water. His work in Sativum, Intercropping, Water-use efficiency, Field pea and Canola is related to Agronomy. His Canola research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Camelina sativa, Vegetable oil, Brassica, Brassica carinata and Rapeseed.

His Crop rotation study combines topics in areas such as Monoculture, Cropping system and Soil fertility. His Crop study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fusarium redolens, Fusarium, Trichoderma and Root rot. His Soil water research includes themes of Cropping and Nutrient.
