Biography
Sex pheromone technology for effective monitoring and mass trapping of rice leaffolder and pink stem borer Developed sex attractants for rice Caseworm. Proved YSB sex pheromone has synergistic role in stem borer management with increased parasitisation of egg parasitoids. Pheromone based (mating disruption technique) management against Spodoptera litura in castor Standardized the rearing protocols for BPH using young rice seedlings under hydroponics condition Studied the effects of elevated CO2 on Biology of rice Brown planthopper Compiled and maintained the Pest Survey Report (AICRIP) data base of ICAR-IIRR, Hyderabad 2011-16 Development of rice real time pest dynamics data base (with ICAR- NCIPM, New Delhi)
Research Interest
Currently working on Arachnology, Rice Entomology with emphasis on Insect chemical Ecology
