Biography
Work out water requirement and scheduling of irrigation of mango and litchi fruit crops • Work plan of EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) and EMP (Environment Management Plan) of lime stone deposits in H.P. • Determination of water requirement and irrigation frequency of fruit crops under drip irrigation system (Plum, apricot, almond, peach, apple and kinnow) • Micro irrigation technology developed (Drip and plastic mulch technique) for Apricot fruit in sub-temperate region of H.P. • Developed soil moisture conservation technology (Plastic mulch technique for soil moisture conservation) for plum orchards under rain fed condition in sub-temperate region of H.P. • Developed Irrigation scheduling and nutrient management technology for rice-wheat cropping system in sodic soil environment. • Optimization of nutrient doses for rice-wheat cropping system under sodic soil conditions. • Information generated on Characterization and Mapping of sodic soils • Developed technology for enhancement of gypsum efficacy through adoption of salt tolerant varieties. • Developed technology for enhancement of gypsum efficacy through adoption of Sesbania . • Develop guide lines for the prevention of resodification of reclaimed sodic soils in U.P. Developed technology using Integrated nutrient management (Press mud) for ricewheat system in sodic soils environment. • • Information generated on characterization of Gandak command area sodic soils in Bihar. • Information generated on nature and characterization of some Sodic Soils of U.P. and their spatial variability. • Developed technology for waterlogged saline and sodic soils in Uttar Pradesh.
