Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Nathan A. Slaton's research focuses on agronomic practices and nutrient management, particularly concerning rice cultivation in Arkansas. His work investigates methods to enhance crop productivity and sustainability through optimized fertilizer application and soil management techniques. Slaton has explored the effectiveness of various nitrogen sources, including polymer-coated urea, and evaluated the role of alkaline hydrolyzable-nitrogen in predicting fertilizer needs for rice. His research also extends to the impact of micronutrient applications, such as zinc and boron, on crop yield and plant nutrient uptake.
Slaton's publications detail studies on factors influencing rice yield, including nitrogen fertilizer rates, application methods, and the severity of diseases like sheath blight. He has also examined ammonia volatilization and nitrogen uptake under different tillage and flooding practices. His collaborations at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include extensive work with Gerson Laerson Drescher, Trenton L. Roberts, Michael P. Popp, and Aurelie M. Poncet, contributing to a significant body of shared research in agricultural science. With a career marked by 193 publications and 3,164 citations, Slaton maintains an h-index of 32, indicating a sustained impact in his field.
