Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paul B. Francis conducts research focused on animal science, agricultural practices, and crop cultivation. His work has investigated the growth performance of stocker calves, examining factors such as diet and backgrounding methods. Francis has also studied plant responses to various agricultural inputs, including nitrogen fertilization in cotton and the effects of biostimulant amendments on maize yield. His research extends to water management in agriculture, with publications on soil water matric potential's impact on aggregate stability and the scheduling of furrow irrigation for soybean crops. Additionally, Francis has explored aspects of horticultural production, including heirloom tomato cultivation and the influence of nitrogen fertilization timing on tomato yield. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6 with 18 total publications and 116 total citations. He has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
