Professional Accomplishments

• Principal Investigator of Section Of RCT in the Department of Agronomy,    projects   related to tillage particularly Zero tillage technology ( Happy Seeder ) and crop residue management studies  and execution and collecting  data and writing the reports.            demos to farmers in rice stubble management and related training to stake holders
• To also acts as advisor on all matters relating to the  tillage schemes and Resource Conservation Technologies and planning. Any major research finding  matter relating to making recommendation or like  activities undertaken in consultation with other Research Scientist    Guiding the other staff for smooth conducting of trials and generating data.    

• Field of studies is plants and soil science,   soil productivity; develop better cultivation, planting and harvesting techniques; improve crop yield, quality of seed and nutritional values of crops; and solve problems of agricultural industry, soil management for land reclamation and crop production to improve quality of seed and the nutritional values of crops, main agenda to find suitable scientific methodology for increasing retention of paddy crop residues in soil or off site utilizing of paddy residues and crop production in fields. To conduct experiments to increase soil fertility and develop best methods for increasing crop productivity and quality in paddy retained soils through use of new recommended machinery developed and  tested exclusively for paddy residues problems faced during sowing of wheat crop. 
• Helping farmers/students train them, to manage crop planting and implementing efficient farming practices; improving crop efficiency and sorting any agricultural problems being faced by stakeholders.

•  Deliver lectures to students/farmers  on soil and crop management issues. Lead and guide post graduate agronomy students in research and development issues. Conduct research on latest trends in crop and soil management especially paddy residues in rice wheat system.  Develop and implement quality initiatives in  programs. 

PROJECTS  HANDLED

1. Project on  :  

           Crop  Residue  Management  and  Sustainability  of     Productivity” Funding  Agency:   Sir  Ratan   Tata   Trust    under    the   initiative   Reviving   Green Revolution’ ( Rs 1300000)

Objective: Farmer’s Training: 

• To accelerate the low cost technology like Happy seeder and rotavator for the residue management of paddy”
• To accelerate the wheat cultivation under no-till condition on large scale by conducting field demonstrations, trainings, field days etc.

Project on:   

• Rice stubble management through altered genotype x environment management (GEM)
• interventions in wheat crop ( BT/PR31684/BIC/101/1205/2019] awarded by Department of Biotechnology  Ministry ) of  Science and Technology Government of India, New Delhi, India:  

• To identify suitable genotype of wheat for planting under crop residues Genotype 

• To optimize early and medium sowing time under crop residue conditions    (Environment To fine-tune the agronomic practices under different crop residue management options and their impact on soil health (Management)
