6. Research interests

Plant pathology and disease management are major areas of interest. Collaborative

work involving plant physiology, plant nutrition, plant breeding and entomology is also part of the

approach.

Specific research projects investigate biological, cultural and chemical means of crop protection

to discover the best approaches to crop management and how they interact with host

resistance, plant nutrition, production practices, and other insect pests and diseases. Current

projects include integrated disease management of red rot on sugarcane , Fusarium wilt of

banana and sesame Phyllody with the emphasis on mycorrhizae ,pseudomonas and

Trichoderma as biological controls; biology and management of sugarcane smut and,

epidemiology and management of sesame root rot and soil amendments for the management

of sesame crop. Efficacy testing of specific crop protection materials is conducted at the request

of the industry. State Leader for Extension Plant Pathology.
