About Myself:

(Entomology Researcher | PhD Scholar)

"I am currently pursuing a PhD in Agricultural Entomology at Agricultural College, Bapatla, part of Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Andhra Pradesh. With a strong foundation in agriculture from my undergraduate studies at the same institution (2021) and a master's degree in Agricultural Entomology in College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal, I bring both academic knowledge and practical experience to the field.

✨Research Experience

With a strong foundation in entomology, I've had the opportunity to work on projects that align with my research interests. My expertise includes:

During my M.Sc. research, I gained practical, field-level experience in the bio-rational management of major insect pests affecting cabbage crops under the unique agro-climatic conditions of the Manipur valley. This work focused on evaluating eco-friendly pest control strategies and assessing their impact on crop health and yield, deepening my understanding of sustainable pest management in vegetable production systems.

Field Evaluation of Botanicals: I've conducted extensive field trials to assess the efficacy of plant-derived pesticides for managing agricultural pests.

Microbial Biopesticides for Pest Management: My research has explored the potential of microorganisms as biocontrol agents, investigating their application, efficacy, and environmental impact.

✨Research Interests

My research focuses on:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Strategies: I'm committed to developing holistic approaches to manage pests, minimizing chemical use and promoting ecological balance.

Biological Control for Sustainable Agriculture: I'm passionate about exploring the potential of natural enemies, microbial biopesticides, and other biological control agents to reduce pesticide reliance and promote eco-friendly farming practices.
