Rate My Professor Valtcho Jeliazkov

His research specializes in the long-term effects of agricultural practices on production systems, with a focus on hemp, oilseeds, essential oil and medicinal plants, and plant chemicals. He explores the use of plant-derived chemicals as alternatives to synthetic plant hormones, growth regulators, and pesticides, bioprospecting for new pharmaceuticals, and advancing organic food production systems. Jeliazkov has authored over 340 publications, accumulating more than 11,000 citations on Google Scholar, demonstrating substantial influence in agroecology, sustainable agriculture, nutrient management, and crop production. Notable publications include 'Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Agronomy and Utilization: A Review' (2023), 'Sprout Suppressants in Potato Storage: Conventional Options and Promising Essential Oils—A Review' (2022), 'Melissa officinalis L. as a Sprout Suppressor in Solanum tuberosum L. and an Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides' (2022), 'Essential Oil Yield, Composition, and Bioactivity of Sagebrush Species in the Bighorn Mountains' (2022), and 'What do the long-term experiments in the dryland Pacific Northwest tell us?' (2020). He contributes to projects such as a $2 million grant to develop natural methods for preventing sprouting in organic potatoes.
