| AREA OF RESEARCH |
Development of diagnostic tools for disease detection in plants
Crops are largely threatened by a wide variety of pests and pathogens due to improper supervision. Early and accurate diagnosis and pathogen surveillance on local, regional, and global scales are necessary to predict outbreaks and allow time for development and application of mitigation strategies. To save plants from irreparable damage by pathogens, farmers have to be able to identify an infection even before it becomes visible. Our research aims at developing diagnostic tools for various fungal infections such as that of Pythium graminicolum and Fusarium graminicolum that causes tremendous crop loss in turmeric, ginger and other spice crops. |
