Exclusive Interview with Dr. DILIPKUMAR .V. PATIL DSc (Honoris Causa)
Dr. DILIPKUMAR .V. PATIL
Question: What inspired you to enter into Breeding of Field and Horticultural Crops?
Answer:
I was born on 21 June 1962 at Manori, a small village in Nagpur District of Maharashtra, India. I was a bright student right from the very beginning. I got National Talent Scholarship in 4thand 7th standard. B.Sc (Agri.) degree was completed from College of Agriculture, Nagpur in 1985 with first division. I took admission in M. Sc (Agriculture) and completed post-graduation with specialization in Plant Breeding and Genetics in 1988. In fact getting admission in Plant Breeding and & Genetics was difficult task as this subject is considered as top most subject in Agriculture and only high ranked students used to get admission followed by Horticulture. I had an inquisitive and research mind from childhood. I used to seat hours together in rain and think how rain comes from the sky. I seat and observed Mimosa pudica (Humble or touch-me-not) plant as plant often grown for its curiosity value. Compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm and re-open a few minutes later. This plant allows me to think how it happened. I always keep busy myself to ask questions why, how, when and where it happens. My mother who was a primary Head Mistress was the inspiration of my life and she identified and nurtured my talent. I was one of the brightest students of my school. Another interesting thing that I would like to share in this context was that it was my hobby to learn and remember the scientific names of plants. During my undergraduate studies there was a practical class of the identification of the horticultural plants. Our teacher used to take students to Botanical garden, Maharaj Bag, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. In first visit teacher write the scientific and common name of the plants on black board and give sufficient time for writing. He checks each and every student copy and correct spelling. Next day teacher take us to the plant and explain scientific as well as common name of the plants. In third practical session teacher asked student to identify plants. Before going to class I prepared myself to keep in mind scientific rather than the common name and identify maximum number of plants. Whenever teacher asked for identification of plants specimens, I answer with the scientific names rather than telling common names. Plant dissection and extraction of brain from frog skull cavity without damage attracted me towards plant breeding and horticultural crop and improve my subject liking. Other students who generally get scared of this subject on account of so called boring and difficult to remember scientific names of the plant flora. By seeing my scientific name remembering capacity colleague call me John D.V. Patil and compared me with Gregor Mendel. Under graduation itself subject interest was created and made up mind to take Post-Graduation admission in Plant Breeding& Genetics. While filling application for post-graduation I have applied only for Plant Breeding & Genetics without any second option and likely I got admissionin my favorite subject. Later I moved to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and completed Ph.D. degree (Plant breeding). This was turning point in my life to be a Plant Breeder. After joining Indian Cardamom Research Institute, Spices Board, Govt. of India, Ministry of Commerce as scientist my scientific career went on there I exposed to export oriented 52 spices grown in India. As a Plant breeder, emphasis was on major spices, their crop improvement and quality control. But yes, I do remember two key persons who inspired me to be a Plant breeder as well as Horticulturist one Dr. R. Naidu, Director and another Dr. K. J. Madhusoodan, Deputy Director of ICRI, both were expert and hardcore spent entire life working on spices. Majority of the spices belongs to Horticultural crops inclined me to work on Horticultural crops. Again I got opportunity to work on Sugarcane, Cluster bean (Seed guar) and Muskmelon is the Horticultural crops. Once I joined my service, it was my dedication towards the farming community to develop and promote area of spices crops.
Question: Since how long, you been into Breeding of Field & Horticultural Crops and in which cities you have been associated for administration, teaching, research, commercial and training programs?
Answer:
I joined Indian cardamom Research Institute in March 1989 and initiated crop breeding projects on small cardamom, turmeric, black pepper. In 1990 I transferred to foot base hills of Kanchenjunga belongs to Himalayan ranges where large cardamom, ginger, turmeric, culinary herbs were grown as expert oriented spices cash crop. This area was declared by Government of India for organic farming. A survey was conducted and collected large cardamom germplasm from North Dzongu and border of Nepal and Bhutan where huge biodiversity was observed. Till 1993, I worked on large cardamom (Ammomum subulatum Roxberg) and identified two genotypes SBLC – 5 and SBLC – 9 suitable to North – West Dzongu area of Sikkim.
After 4 years I come back to ICRI, Regional Station, Thadiyankudisai, Tamil Nadu and crop improvement project were initiated on small cardamom, black pepper and turmeric. Variety Pournima of black pepper resistant to nematode and Lakdong for high curcumin and BSR – 1 for mediumcurcumin with high yield potential turmeric varieties were identified that was suitable to lower Pulney hills of Tamil Nadu.
I transferred to Main Research Station, Myladumpara, Idukki District, Kerala in 1994 where I exposed to more number spices crops like small cardamom, Rosemary, Nutmeg& Mace, Black pepper, Cinnamon & Tej-pat, Clove, Ginger, All spices, Sage, Marjoram, Mint and Vanilla. I have developed and released three small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) varieties like ICRI – 4, ICRI –5, ICRI – 6). ICRI – 4 selection suited to low rainfall area (<1000mm) of Lower Pulney hills of Tamil Nadu. A high yield potential ICRI – 5 was a first hybrid was credited in my account which can be propagated clonally and produced planting material rapidly.ICRI-5 suited to Kerala (900 - 1200m MSL) with annual rainfall of 2000mm. High yielding ICRI – 6 selection was released suitable to cardamom hill reserve (Anamalai area ) of Idukki district of Kerala state.
In 2005, I have been posted at Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Govt. of India, Kasaragod, Kerala. But my working place was at CPCRI, RC, Kidu, Nettana, Karnataka state where I exposed to administration work. I was a Scientist – In – Charge and Head of the Station looking 60 supporting and 4 administrative staff. I monitored and maintained 10500 coconut, 5600 Areca nut and 700 cocoa plants in 122 hectare land. I was curator of International Coconut Gene Bank for South Asia (ICG-SA), Kidu. I was a Co-organizerof 14th Coconut Genetic Resources Network (COGENT) steering committee meeting and field visit to ICG – SA where 13 member countries were participated. I was a Curator of the International Coconut Gene Bank for South Asia (ICG - SA), Kidu.
In 2011, I was transferred to ICAR – National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management, Baramati, Maharashtra there I was involved in water stress management project on Muskmelon, Cluster bean (seed guar), Sugarcane and Sorghum. A promising technology on water stress management was developed. By halting 7 days drip irrigation at vegetative phase farmers can save water and irrigate extra 0.06 hectare area. This technology reached to the lab to land and farmers were benefited. Genotypes of sugarcane and sorghum were identified which resist terminal drought. Adaptive performance of Cluster bean as an introduction of new crop was studied and identified seven genotypes that suited to Deccan Plateau area of Maharashtra. I was Co-Organizer of expert consultancy meets on early arrowing problems of Sugarcane varieties under Nira canal.
I was Chairman of National Task force for the assessment of hailstorm affected area and farming situation due to delayed monsoon in Maharashtra.
In 2015, I was transferred to ICAR – Central Institute for Cotton Research, Nagpur, Maharashtra state and continued service till date. The project on breeding to improve the performance of Gossypium herbaceum for adaptation to climate change in central India was initiated. From inter and intra herbaceum program 5 genotypes were identified for early maturity traits. Development of heterotic pools in Gossypium hirsutum is also in progress. I involved in the release of cotton CNA – 1028 (Ravi) variety suited to Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. I was Co-Chairman of National Task force for the assessment of pink boll worm attack and illegal cultivation of herbicide tolerant Cotton in Maharashtra and Gujarat.
I am in receipt of Limca book of Record, Plant Breeder Award, Fellowship Sapienza University, Rome, Italy, Fellow of Linnean Society of London (FLSL) UK. Life member of International Cotton Research Association (ICRA), USA. Life member of Indian Society for Spices, Indian Society for Plantation Crops and Indian Society of Cotton Improvement.

Question: What are your future plans for teaching, research and training programs in Horticulture?
Answer:
I have guided two M. Sc (Biotechnology) students worked on small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton). I can render my expertise to guide M. Sc and Ph. D students. I am planning to set up tissue culture lab for large scale production of Small cardamom, Vanilla, Rosemary, Sage and Banana plantlets. I am also planning to conduct short term courses in Horticulture where farmers get benefits and stat up small scale industries on Horticultural crops and processing units. Contraction of humidifier for the store of onions at least for two weeks saves 20% loss due to fungal spoilage. Establishment of Seed village with 4 released cotton varieties like Rajat- Bt, Suraj-Bt, PKV-081-Bt and GJHV-374-Bt where reusable cotton seed production was done by the tribal ladies and gained profit. Guide and train farmers to adopt water stress management technology in cultivation of Muskmelon on black poly mulch (IRT sheet) with drip irrigation certainly gain profit.
Question: What kind of businesses can be started in Spice? What minimum infrastructure would it need?
Answer:
Two type of business can start in Spices. One is Agricultural Spices and second Non-Agricultural Spices.
In Agricultural Spices business start-up is in term of production of planting material and farming leads to greater development to realized yield productivity. In case of Small cardamom and Vanilla production of planting material can fetch good business. As an export oriented crop cultivation of both species produced yield. Establishment of nursery of clonal multiplication and maintenance of mother plants one hectare land is sufficient. With minimum infrastructure stat up can start with irrigation facilities, land and mother plants. Organic farming of spices is another avenue of business where Organic agriculture does not have destructive impact on the ecosystem.
In case of Non-Agricultural spices business can start with the processing, powdering and packaging spices as a finished product and initiated business. Non-agricultural expenses also lead to generation of business and revenue. The nation also focuses on output-oriented technologies like pesticides and modern fertilizers. India relies on an integrated agriculture policy that thrives for sustainability, enhancement of soil fertility and physical variety. In case of Infrastructure Development, infrastructure like Curing houses of fresh cardamom capsules and fresh vanilla beans, streets, railroads and storage to facilitate transportation and holding facilities improve the business in spices industries. Spices powder making is another business avenue help to generate employment to rural societies. Spice powder making business assures a decent recovery. Even a home-based spice making initiative can churn profits and these is massive scope for expansion.
Question: What are your recommendations to improve the standards of journals publishing research articles on Horticulture?
Answer:
To improve the standards of journals encourage young researchers for publication of monographs and books of interest. Select original research papers the on Horticultural field and provide merit certificates, medals and prizes. Organizing lectures, symposia, seminars, excursions, exhibitions enable to develop National as well as International linkages and interactions.
Question: What are your recommendations to improve syllabus of Horticulture for more creativity, applications and opportunities?
Answer:
In order to bring more creativity, applications and opportunities there should be improvement in syllabus of Horticulture. More creativity comes by pin pointing present problems, think on at least 50 years ahead future problems to be faced by the horticultural industries. Introduction of advanced food processing technologies as fast food concept already existed in the socio-systems. Unemployment problems of youth, manpower scarcity, seasonal fluctuation and changing climate need changes in cropping system. Concept of fast food, preference of organic farming, applications of drones, application of defoliant, Nano technology in fertilizers and micro elements, advanced cryogenic system for long term food preservation certainly need improvement in the syllabus. Exposure to foreign universities or Research Institute by the faculties and resource personal can upgrade syllabus and student can learn new introduced techniques in the horticultural farming. Include advanced statistical methods and computer packages as a research component in the syllabus. Edited syllabus by adding subjects like Biodiversity conservation, Computer applications, Health benefits of horticultural fruits and medicinal plants, Environmental impact, Biochemical estimation, Molecular biology, Biotechnology, Plant Tissue culture , Cellular, physiological activities of plants and Problem analysis. Include the chapter on time management and career planning and use of Information Technology.
Question: What is Horticulture? What are the major branches in Horticulture?
Answer:
Horticulture is the science and art of growing, developing and commercializing edible fruits, vegetable, flowers, herbs, spices, plantations, medicinal and aromatics and ornamental plants.

10. Silviculture: Branch of manipulating forest vegetation to enhance forest growth and establish new forest stands.
11. Sericulture: Cultivation of Mulberry plants for silkworm production.
Question: What are your recommendations to frame guidelines on funding of research projects on Horticulture?
Answer:
There are different type of projects can generate funding of research project in horticulture.
Ad-hoc projects are short term hardly for one year where assembling a temporary team to address a special circumstances or emergency that has arisen can enable on organization to respond more quickly and more efficiently to a situation than if dealing with the situation merely assigned. Ad-hoc project generate fund for the implementation or adaptation of new technology or work flow such as water stress management in Muskmelon Or study the adaptability of newly introduced crop (Seed guar / Cluster bean) in Deccan region of Maharashtra. There is urgent need to identify the control measure for Pandemic Covid – 19 viruses in a short period where organization can do funding and get result quickly. An ad-hoc project is used to describe work that has been formed or used for a special and immediate purpose, without previous planning.
Short term project are goal oriented for6 months to 1 year. While creating a goal, study and check whether goal is realistic as further line of work of long term project depends on the success rate and motivate to complete other goals. Funding is bound to have a lot of short goals in multiple categories. Lesser patience levels are required, because of the satisfaction get on completing a goal. There are fewer chances of failure as they require fewer efforts. Typical example in horticultural crops is the formulation of project and funding for each goal on the standardization of protocol for media, explant, callus induction and regeneration in small cardamom and vanilla. Once the goal achieve application of protocol for large scale production tissue culture plantlets comes under process. Different agencies can float fund for the above mentioned goals.
Long term project goal start with 3 years timeline and can run up to 20 years. There will be a limited number and specific of long term goals. Financial and commercial production related goals are usually categories under long term project. There is no immediate satisfaction that is why a lot of patience is required. There are more chances of failure as the distractions and unexpected circumstance happened in the long period. Nobel examples is the large scale commercial production of tissue culture plantlets in small cardamom, Vanilla and Banana where tissues culture laboratory produced lakhs together plantlets to sustain flow of Tissue culture plantlets every year and covered large area. Under Mega project event, another example is the production of genetically superior planting material, seed nuts and seedlings of Coconut, Areca nut and Cocoa. It is a long term process where large numbers of seedlings and seed nuts are needed every year for planting and replacement of old senile plantation crops. There are funding agencies support more than 50 lakhs fund to establish accredited horticultural nurseries and certified tissue culture laboratories.
Question: How can universities produce revolutionary PhD and Post Doc thesis and dissertations on Horticulture? What are your recommendations to improve the academic standards?
Answer:
To improve the academic standards entrance examination should be organised by university with a good level for selection process of research scholars. Student should be selected on the basis of written examination and interview. But sometimes the students not performed well in entrance examination understand the line of work and supersedes the top rank students. However maintain minimum eligibility criteria for research guide. Research should be focused on present problem in concern subject and has practical utility. Need base synopsis and research proposal select carefully by subject expert panel. Ph. D. Thesis, Post doc thesis and dissertation should be reviewed by experienced supervisor and half yearly and yearly report examine by expert committee.
Question: What are your views on enhancing Cotton production in India, challenges in Cotton production and solution?
Views on enhancing cotton production in India
Control and regulation of biotic and abiotic factors certainly double the cotton production in India. Plant growth regulation is required by monitoring cotton crop, square size and fruit retention help to enhance cotton yield and fiber quality. Use of improved varieties, maintenance of plant moisture stress, soil health, fertility and soil type, nutrition management, high density plant system, integrated weed management and timely plant protection, harvest management with defoliant, scouting throughout season of weed, pest and disease, application of drip irrigation system increased the yield and enhance the cotton production.
Challenges in Cotton production and solutions
Limited resources including land, seeds, water and equipment are the biggest challenges in cotton production in India. There is competition from food crops that preventing cotton area from rising further. Cotton is cultivated on 5 % cultivable land but consumes 54% of total pesticides used in agriculture. There is decreasing and stagnant yield level with deteriorating quality and productivity of soil due to incessant use of pesticides and pests that are becoming increasingly resistant to chemicals dosage. Government minimum support price offered to cotton is far below that required to optimally cover the high input cost. Farmers are unable to manage water resources efficiency and depleting groundwater resources. More than 35% of the areas under cotton cultivation are rain-fed with poor irrigation facilities, exposing production to monsoon fluctuations. Absence of modern technology and non- availability of cotton pickers suited to Indian cotton growing conditions. Competition is from artificial fibres which have a lower cost of production and display of higher consistency. Major and most vulnerable factor is day to day micro climate which affect crop production drastically.
Question: How can students seek job and career opportunities in Horticulture?
Answer:
A horticulture graduate student start job career from Junior and Senior Research fellowship and complete post-graduation. Later join research project of national agencies and complete Ph. D in Horticulture. Join as Research Associate or professor in National or International Institute or University. Seeking job in state agricultural departments, banks, public and private sectors opens new avenues as job opportunities.

Question: What are your recommendations to write a world class research article in Horticulture? What essential components and factors must be there?
Answer:
Writing a world class article in Horticulture should have coverage of basic background of the theme, study tools, selection of the study and methodology. Future prospect of the study, practical applicability, interrelationship of the information with other published and recommendation for adaptation should be covered in the research article. In short, world class article in Horticulture should include word class review of literature and references. Review should focused on current issues and explain result in a proper scientific pattern with brief result and discussion. While writing world class article one should have command on scientific language, simple presentation with review of literature. Article should include original, reliable data with suitable statistical method. Article addresses the concept, understanding and solutions on research problem. Articles have innovative ideas of fact presentation in scientific manner.
Horticulture involved in the intensive cultivation and commercial production in terms of scale and export. Horticulture falls between domestic gardening, field agriculture and industries though all forms of cultivation naturally have close link. Hence research articles including basic and advanced and applied lab to land is the today’s need. Articles related to promising technologies, on farm demonstration, patents, Copy rights which convince to the grass shoot producer, buyer as well sellers are the essential components and factors should be in the recommendations.
Question: What are your recommendations to establish a world class research institute for Horticulture?
Answer:
The establishment of a world class research institute for horticulture have the basic requirements of 100 – 150 hectare own land where the mother plants of orchard, flowers and botanical garden and forest trees can be grown. Establishment of mother plants will help to study the plants and develop new variants, hybrids and varieties. Establish good infrastructure and Resources, Industry and Technology set up and Food and Nutrition departments. Established world class advanced laboratories where good methodologies can be learned by the students. World class research should have regular and good mentors of funding. Ability to educate students and explain that it is a soft science has practical application in employment generation. The institute should have linkages with State, National and International government to release fund for its development.
Question: What are your recommendations to improve employment and scope in Horticulture?
Answer:
To improve employment and scope horticulture, a preliminary competitive test is to be conducted and screen the students in the first year graduation admission level itself. Students has good observation power will help to develop skills in horticulture subject as a student. The specialization at Post Graduation level improves the scope of employment in specialized subject and industries. After completing Ph.D. one can work as a Research Scientist, Firm Manager, Research associate, Post doctorate, Coordinator, Analysts and as a Professor in a University.
Question: Would you start a campaign to request government to offer free of cost internet to all people of your country as fundamental right, because it plays a significant role in education, awareness, implementation of government policies and economic development of country
Answer:
The offer of free of cost internet to all people of your country is not justified, because it is not restricted to the particular site. It may be treated as a political campaign. There are chances of misuse of sites are expected and may increase cyber-crime. There should have source to meet out maintenance cost of internet expenses. Government of India has already given internet access to various social places like Railway Stations, Air ports and other places. Universities and Research Institutions in our Country has already given open access for journals to the faculties and scholars.
Question: What are your recommendations to authors, who are writing Books on Horticulture for more creativity and understanding of the subject?
Answer:
While writing books on horticulture, plants, fruits, flower, garden, field, equipment, factories, demonstrations, promising technologies and success stories self explainary photos are to be included. Select simple language without any confusion. Explain literature in a simplify and systematicway. Colourful diagram with suitable labelling, tables and text figures should be clearly differentiated. Preface, Acknowledgments, References and Index should be given in proper method. Contents of the book must be evolutionary with new technologies and cover specific or targeted theme of the subject.
Question: What according to you are the Top 5 major challenges (research problems) which need to be resolved urgently by world’s scientists in the area of Horticulture?
Answer:
· Advanced technologies like vertical farming, organic farming, aero farming and hydroponics and quality processed products which meets slow food concept are to be included in the syllabus as there is shortage of land, labour.
· Need based research addressed to the changing climate is essential which suit to the changes in the society or the community.
· Major work should be done on rare, endangered, endemic and threatened horticultural species.
· To develop opportunity to the group to share the knowledge with medicinal, aromatics horticultural plants utilized in ancient Ayurveda for the economic benefits.
· Modification in present research methodology on researches and motivate young researcher by International organisation.
Question: What are your recommendations to improve standards of Conferences in Horticulture? How can they be brainstorming and more creative?
Answer:
Conference should be conducted to improve the knowledge, linkages and participants and share research findings at global level. Conference also has theme which can dissuaded on present scenario and future demand like introduction of new technologies or released of genetically engineered plants, and banned on pesticides. In depth discussion should be on the climate change with experts through video conferring. Conduct brain storming meeting on specific problems and find out solutions to improve the quality, processing and yield aspects in horticultural crops.
Question: Which major challenges do you see to establish India as world leader in Horticulture?
Answer:
There is cut throat competition in production, processing, marketing and export. Other countries like China dump their horticultural products in Indian surplus market as India has huge demand of processed product. India can explore Indian traditional knowledge with respect to Ayurveda, food system and use of horticultural crops. There is need to develop International platform as a world leader and motivate young researchers to explore this world because young researchers need motivation, guidance for research world
Question: Any other thing, you would like to share with World?
Answer:
There are still unexploited horticultural species which is used as medicine by tribes habitat in thick forest and remote areas like Pataleswar village of Chattisgarh district of India. Young researchers are wealth for the research world should allow studying ancient regional literatures, preserving endangered species and develop platform at International level. Wealth of medicinal plants exist in remote locality has resistant power to fight against Covid - 19 and Omicron and unidentified pathogens should be studied in-depth, patented as whole world is passing through the pandemic of viral diseases.
