My aim is to find out the most effective disease and insect-pest management options for sustainable crop health management including resistant/tolerant lines, biocontrol agents, eco-friendly alternatives. Develop new techniques for insect-pest management. Popularize the use of biocontrol agents like pathogenic microorganisms, endophytes, PGPR, entomopathogens, and induced resistance for integrated management of plant pathogens and insect-pests for the benefit of the growers.
