Major achievements/innovations in research

• I have been working on the eco-friendly management of nematodes and insects using native antogonists. From 1995 to 2005, I worked on the management of major insect pests of coconut viz, Red palm weevil, Rhinocerus beetle and white grub with native entomopathogenic nematodes. I have isolated isolated new species of entomopathogenic nematodes and standardized mass production protocal under in vivo and in vitro by using low cost ingredients.
• I have Developed a low cost medium for the axenic culturing of Radopholus similis, an important nematode pest of plantation crops in India. 
• I have standardized the protocal for storage of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema sp. Isolated and identified a virulent isolate of Pasteuria penetrans and proved its pathogenicity to burrowing and root knot nematode. 
• Standardised low cost medium for mass production of nematode antagonistic fungi viz., Verticillium chlamydosporium and Purpureocillium lilacinum. 
• Production of insecticidal toxin by bacterial symbionts of native entomopathogenic nematodes was proved. 
• An extensive survey carried on nematodes associated with Bt cotton revealed the presence of ten genera of nematodes. Nematode trophic group in cotton ecosystem consists of plant parasitic nematode, bacterial feeders and fungal feeders, of which plant parasitic nematodes contributed maximum (77.15 %) to nematode diversity followed by bacterial feeders (22.25%). Among plant parasitic nematodes, reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis was identified as key pest of Bt cotton in India. 
• A detailed study on the nematode community structure under field condition was carried out. 
• Comparison of life cycle of reniform nematode in Bunny Bt and non Bt revealed no difference in life cycle parameters were observed. Detailed histopathological changes due to reniform nematode infection in Bt cotton was studied. 
• Bio-climatics studies on reniform nematode under field condition for three years revealed that the population of R.reniformis was found to be very low at the time of sowing and reached maximum at mid season and thereafter population decreased. After harvest nematode enters into anhydrobiotic stage. 
• Based on pathogenicity studies conducted under pot culture and micro-plot condition, Economic Threshold Level (ETL) for reniform nematode in cotton was 2IJ/g of soil. 

• A total of 65 isolates of native entomopathogenic fungi were isolated and identified from mealy bug in India. Standardized bioassay method for screening large numbers of entomopathogenic fungi against mealy bug. Out of these 65 fungi isolated, Lecanicillium lecanii was found to be highly virulent against Phenococcus solenopsis and Paracoccus marginatus under lab, pot culture, micro plot and field condition. 
• A simple process for the mass multiplication of L. lecanii with high virulence was developed. A talc based formulation of Lecanicillium lecanii was developed and tested under multi location trails and was highly effective against two mealy bug species viz., Phenococcus solenopsis and Paracoccus marginatus. 
• An innovative technology for the management of mealy bug was developed by using L. lecanii. Spraying of talc based formulation of L.lecanii @ 10gm or 10 ml / lit (2 x 10⁸ spores / ml) twice at 15 days interval during high humid days was recommended. 
• Standardized bioassay method for screening large numbers of insecticides against mealy bug. 
• Field experiments conducted to evaluate the promising biopesticides revealed that no significant difference in Natural enemies (Spiders and Coccinellid beetle) population observed among treatments and biopesticides were found to be safer to natural enemies.
• Standardized protocol for the isolation of insecticidal and nematicidal metabolites from native entomopathogenic and nematode antagonistic fungi and proved their efficacy against target insects and nematodes. 
• Molecular docking of nematicidal metabolites from native nematode antogonistic fungus, Pochonia chlamydosporia isolated from reniform nematode egg mass was carried out. 
• I have published 3 books, 2 training manual, 12 chapters in book and 53 research articles in national and international journals. I have submitted 26 sequences in Gene Bank and presented 83 abstracts in national and international seminar/symposium/conferences. I have also published 7 popular articles,  and 4 leaflets
