Research Activities
Agronomy, Crop modeling and Climate Change: Agronomic practices play a
vital role in crop production. As global warming induced climate changes are
affecting crop production and natural resources across the world. Hence, the
prime focus of the department is to develop and introduce crop models and
resource conservation techniques through precision agriculture and climate-smart
agriculture in Punjab region.
Agri biotechnology: Biotic and abiotic stress plays a critical role in
plant growth and yield. Hence various strategies are being deciphered for
production of stress resilient crops. Further attempts are being made to
understand the intricacies of root development and the modulation of root system
architecture in plants. Research is also being pursued to enhance accumulation
of secondary metabolites in important medicinal plants.
Plant Pathology (Plant Molecular Virology): Plant pathogens and insect
attacks are detrimental to crop yield and productivity. Department focuses on
the area of identification of different pathogens and insects, plant-microbe
interaction, viral disease diagnostics and the development of stress-resilient
crops.
Horticulture: The cultivation of horticultural crops has a huge potential
in Punjab. It is been observed that the area for cultivation of horticultural
crops is increased with every passing year. At present, the department is
involved in the introduction of nontraditional crops and developing their
agrotechnology. Further, the department aims at developing suitable technology
for large-scale propagation of quality planting materials.
