Salient Professional Achievements
Developed integrated farming system (IFS) models for lowland and upland situations of west coast of India.
Developed conceptual framework for promotion of agro-ecotourism as a multidimensional farming enterprise in coastal regions of India (Goa and Karnataka).
Co-developer of 4 high yielding potato processing varieties- Kufri Chipsona-3, Kufri Chipsona-4, Kufri Himsona and Kufri Frysona.
Developed production technology to maximize chip grade (45-85 mm) & French fry grade (> 75 mm) potatoes for 6 Indian potato processing varieties.
Standardized irrigation and planting schedules of salt tolerant basmati rice & wheat varieties. Recommended irrigation and planting schedules results in higher rice-wheat productivity, saves ~30% of irrigation water and 20% of energy (diesel) leading to reduced pollution.
