Salient Achievements:
|
- Rendered quarantine service to more than 50 organisations in South India. Examined over 11,00,000 samples of germplasm meant for export and import to give quarantine clearance which include the material meant for International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), CIMMYT(ICRISAT campus), AVRDC (ICRISAT campus), Universities, other Research Institutes and Private sectors
- Intercepted several important fungal and bacterial pathogens on varied crop germplasm introduced from countries all over the world. Some of them were Alternaria helianthi, Botrytis cinerea on sunflower from Serbia Montenegro; Peronospora manshurica on soybean from USA, Canada; Pseudomonas syringae on tomato from AVRDC, Taiwan; Ralstonia solanacearum on groundnut from Brazil, Australia, Niger, USA, Zimbabwe etc.; Alternaria radicina, A. dauci and Rhizoctonia solani on carrot from USA; Colletotrichum dematium on okra from AVRDC, Taiwan and Botrytis alii, and Alternaria porii on onion from USA.
- Developed suitable detection methodology against Ralstonia solanacearum, a bacterial wilt pathogen of groundnut, using semi-specific Tetrazolium chloride agar (TZCA) medium.
- Treatment schedules developed to control grain molds and Colletotrichum graminicola from sorghum seed, Rhizoctonia bataticola from groundnut seeds and smut (Moesziomyces penicillariae) from pearl millet seed.
- Promising Genetic Stocks (03 genetic stocks) were co-developed and registered with Indian Council of Agricultural Research for unique traits in agri-horticultural crops viz., Chilli, and Dolichos bean.
- Published over 115 publications consisting of Journal articles & Book Chapters; books; Professional abstracts; Popular articles, flyer, brochures.
