I am deeply interested in teaching in the field of Agronomy, with a focus on Crop Production and Sustainable Agriculture. My teaching interests includes Crop Resilience, Agro-ecology, Ecological farming, Cropping systems, and Sustainable crop production. I am particularly enthusiastic about integrating research-based knowledge and practical field experience into teaching, with special emphasis on rice-based farming systems and vegetable crop production
My research interests focus on crop resilience and ecological farming, with particular emphasis on developing sustainable crop production systems. I am interested in understanding crop responses to environmental stresses, improving resilience through sustainable management practices, and promoting ecologically based approaches for enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
