Significant achievements
Working on fruit crops improvement, rootstock research and stress, and nutrient management in fruit crops in different agroclimatic conditions such as hilly areas (ICAR Research Complex for NEH region, A.P. Centre, Basar, Arunachal Pradesh and ICAR-RC, Umiam, Meghalaya) and subtropical plains (IARI, New Delhi), ICAR-CSSRI, RRS Lucknow. Developed 13 varieties of citrus fruits and mango, which were released either by CVRC or SVRC. Six varieties (02 in citrus; Pusa Round and Pusa Abhinav) as team leader and four in mango (Pusa Shresth, Pusa Pratibha, Pusa Lalima and Pusa Peetamber,) as co-developer were notified by CVRC. Each variety in lemon ‘Pusa Lemon-1’, acid lime  ‘Pusa Udit’ ‘Pummelo  ‘Pusa Arun’, sweet orange ‘Pusa Sharad’ and two varieties in mango ‘Pusa Deepshikha’, and ‘Pusa Manohari’ ‘has been released by SVRC of NCT of Delhi. Developed protocol for maximizing hybrid seedling recovery in polyembryonic x polyembryonic crosses in citrus and also identified SSR markers for their confirmation hybrid origin, which will help large number of hybrid seedlings. Recommended high yielding varieties of sweet orange, mandarin for foot hills of Arunachal Pradesh and grapefruit varieties for commercial cultivation for Delhi NCR region, Standardized softwood grafting for large scale multiplication of Khasi mandarin and IARI released mango varieties. Identified salt tolerant (Na and Cl excluders) rootstocks in mango and citrus, Further, identified potential polyembryonic rootstock(s) for five varieties of mango (Pusa Arunima, Pusa Surya, Amrapali, Mallika and Dushehari), lemon cv Kagzi Kalan, sweet orange variety Mosambi as well grapefruit varieties ‘Marsh Seedless’ and ‘Redblush’ for subtropical conditions. Developed technologies for mitigating NaCl stress effects in citrus, also established criteria for screening the citrus against salt stress. Developed nutrient management scheduling for acid lime and Khasi mandarin for mid hills conditions of Arunachal Pradesh.

Significant achievements (not more than 300 words)

As a soil microbiologist, I always had an interest in pursuing role of microorganisms in maintaining soil health and quantifying ecosystem services conferred by them using high-throughput techniques. In this regard, your work in identifying relationships between microorganisms and ecosystem functions and their influence on global change has piqued my interest. Your lab focuses on underpinning interactions within microbiological communities and their influence on edaphic factors, which will help me in expanding my knowledge about microbiological networks and biological switches regulating cycling of key soil macronutrients. In my doctoral thesis, I deciphered structural and functional diversity of vermicomposting earthworm during which, I gained expertise in designing and executing metagenomics project. As a mid-career Scientist at ICAR, I have worked as a project investigator conducting soil microbiome projects to identify key biological indicators of soil pesticide contamination and soil fertility. I have studied rice rhizobiomes of ten non-aromatic indica rice varieties and identified key cultivar-specific bacterial OTUs and microbial guilds for C and N cycling. Working on insect gut microbiomes, I have mined novel lignocellulolytic genes of Macrotermes (subterranean termite) employing whole metagenome sequencing. Furthermore, I was formerly associated with National Agriculturally Important Microbial Culture Collection as curator and expedited soil microbiome analysis of Western Ghats and desert ecosystem of India.  I have good working knowledge of Unix/ Linux based pipelines such as QIIME2, MOTHUR, PiCRUST, FAPROTAX etc., for analysis of targeted metagenome datasets and metagenome reconstruction. Two databases containing information on microbial diversity (https://www.microveda.org.in/) and microbe based technologies for agriculture has also developed (https://agrimicrotech.com/) by me.

Significant achievements (not more than 300 words)

Developed methodologies for mapping trees on farmlands/ agroforestry using medium resolution (LISS III, 23.5m) and high resolution (LISS IV, 5.8m) remote sensing data. Two methodologies are based on sub-pixel and object-oriented classification methods. Besides, methodology for identifying and mapping tree species on farmlands has been developed and standardized. Using this methodology, area under Poplar (Populus deltoides) species has been mapped in Indo-Gangetic plains.

Biomass models for Azadirachta indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Populus deltoides and Techtona grandis tree species have been developed. Also carbon storage potential of these species on the farmlands was also estimated.

Significant achievements

A first ever scientific attempt on intensive scale to analyze the impact of fluoride in ground water and its exposure on the ecological system and sustainable agriculture in Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, was made for which ICAR has bestowed me with Jawahar Lal Nehru Award for Post Graduate Agricultural Research-2010. I have evaluated site specific exposure doses of fluoride through groundwater source of drinking water, common vegetables and cereal crops (rice and wheat). I have developed and recommended wide range of reclamation technologies and management strategies for sodic soils and waterlogged sodic soils. Currently, I am working on the surface and sub-surface sodicity management strategies using amendments which could be alternative to mineral gypsum. The novel, innovative and pioneering research work for enhancing productivity potential of horticultural crops in sodic soils in multidisciplinary team mode has also led the development of 03 bio-formulations viz CSR-BIO (bio-growth enhancer) and ICAR-FUSICONT (for fusarium wilt control in banana), and GROWSURE, all have been commercialized. I have also developed a novel technology “Under Ground Taming/Transfer of Floods for Irrigation (UTFI)”,which involved strategically recharging aquifers having latent or depleted groundwater storage capacity with simultaneous flood mitigation in rural and urban areas. A patent and DBT award is also on my name

Significant contributions relating to the relevant field of specialization
Significant contributions relating to the relevant field of specialization
1. Low Energy Water Application (LEWA) device developed focussing marginal and small farm holdings and close growing crops.The device operates in the operating pressure range of 0.4 Kg/cm2 to 0.6 Kg/cm2. Saving of water and energy reported.
2. The developed LEWA device integrated to develop and design a LEWA irrigation system to practice irrigation. The developed system tested, demonstrated, and applied in field at various locations and farmer’s field. Testing reported the system works within the pressure range of 1 Kg/cm2 – 1.5 Kg/cm2 depending upon the size of unit.
3. Irrigation scheduling practices developed for Tomato, Brinjal and Cabbage-Okra sequences, to promote use of drip irrigation in irrigated midlands and uplands of Bihar.
4. Cage fish farming for wetland area were refined, assessed and adopted to demonstrate multiple use of water options. The developed cage culture technology was refined depending upon the need of farmer’s and area. Under the project, bamboo (local material) used to fabricate the cage structure and mesh/net materials were used to enclose. The refined cage was immersed in a large water body (Chaur).
5. Development of Integrated Farming System models under of 0.5 acre, 1.0 acre, and 2 acre considering the types of holding and crop grown in eastern India for marginal and small farm holders. The 0.5-acre IFS model implemented and adopted by the farmer by utilizing waterlogged unutilized land.
6. Participatory Water Management process developed and applied in Sone Command. WUAs, SHGs, OMGs (outlet management groups), and other interest groups formed and exposed to the concept of utilizing rainwater, discouraging field to field irrigation, multiple use of water, checking the free flow of canal water, conjunctive use of rain, canal and groundwater etc. Farmers reported reduction in number of irrigation, increased availability of water at tailreaches and enhancing income from unproductive lands.
7. Irrigation Scheduling practices developed for Rice and Wheat grown under sodic soils.
8. Developed GypCal mobile applications in hindi and english to estimate gypsum and leaching requirement for sodic soils.
9. Organized short courses, 21 day training programme/winter school involving researchers, extension workers, state govt. personnel, farmers trainings and delivered lectures as resource person to enhance participant knowledge in the field of water management, supervised B. Tech (AgrilEngg.) students of SAUs to undertake one month summer practical training.
