Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nathan A. Slaton's research program focuses on soil fertility and nutrient management, particularly the correlation and calibration of soil tests for fertilizer recommendations. He has been involved in the development of a USA-wide soil test correlation and calibration database, aiming to improve the accuracy and consistency of nutrient recommendations across different regions.

His work has investigated variations in phosphorus and potassium recommendations across the southern United States and explored corn yield responses to fertilization in Arkansas. Slaton has also examined the effects of salinity on rice cultivation and weed control. His publications address methodologies for soil test correlation and calibration research, including defining relative yield and establishing minimum dataset guidelines.

Slaton holds a professorship at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and has a publication record of 190 items, with an h-index of 32 and over 3,000 citations. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Gerson Laerson Drescher, Trenton L. Roberts, Michael P. Popp, and Aurelie M. Poncet.
