Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Zahir Ahmad Zahir spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Rhizobacteria, Rhizosphere, Inoculation and Salinity. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Agriculture, Chlorophyll, Nutrient and Stomatal conductance. His Rhizobacteria research incorporates elements of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Axenic and Shoot, Botany, Horticulture.

His Pseudomonas fluorescens study incorporates themes from Dry weight, Sativum, Field capacity and Pseudomonas. Zahir Ahmad Zahir has included themes like Rhizobia and Halotolerance in his Botany study. His Rhizosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vigna and Abiotic component.

His most cited work include:

  • Screening plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for improving growth and yield of wheat. (582 citations)
  • The role of mycorrhizae and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in improving crop productivity under stressful environments. (416 citations)
  • Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria: Applications and Perspectives In Agriculture (382 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Rhizobacteria, Horticulture, Inoculation and Rhizosphere. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Rhizobia and Nutrient. His Rhizobacteria study combines topics in areas such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salinity and Botany, Shoot, Biofertilizer.

His work in Horticulture covers topics such as Pseudomonas which are related to areas like Fertilizer. His Inoculation research incorporates themes from Axenic and Poaceae. Zahir Ahmad Zahir has included themes like Biotechnology, Soil health and Microbial inoculant in his Rhizosphere study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.94%)
  • Rhizobacteria (37.65%)
  • Horticulture (27.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Rhizobacteria (37.65%)
  • Horticulture (27.06%)
  • Inoculation (22.94%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Rhizobacteria, Horticulture, Inoculation, Agronomy and Shoot. His Rhizobacteria research includes elements of Weed, Botany, Canary grass and Bioassay. The various areas that Zahir Ahmad Zahir examines in his Horticulture study include Pseudomonas fluorescens, Rhizosphere, Stomatal conductance and Transpiration.

Zahir Ahmad Zahir interconnects Serratia ficaria, Symbiosis, Salinity and Mesorhizobium ciceri in the investigation of issues within Inoculation. Much of his study explores Agronomy relationship to Nutrient. His studies deal with areas such as Soil contamination and Bioremediation as well as Shoot.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phytoremediation: Environmentally sustainable way for reclamation of heavy metal polluted soils. (148 citations)
  • Perspectives of potassium solubilizing microbes in sustainable food production system: A review (30 citations)
  • Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN and tree twigs derived biochar together retrieved Pb-induced growth, physiological and biochemical disturbances by minimizing its uptake and translocation in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). (22 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His main research concerns Horticulture, Transpiration, Soil contamination, Biofertilizer and Nitrogen fixation. The study of Horticulture is intertwined with the study of Rhizosphere in a number of ways. The concepts of his Transpiration study are interwoven with issues in Chlorophyll, Shoot and Stomatal conductance.

His Biofertilizer research is included under the broader classification of Agronomy. His research combines Rhizobacteria and Nutrient. The Rhizobacteria study combines topics in areas such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salinity, Compost, Serratia ficaria and Pseudomonas putida.
