- Junior Research Fellow
Description
- I worked as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at PAJANCOA & RI, Karaikal, Puducherry from March 2024 to September 2024. During this period, I contributed to several research projects, including AAV, JAP, AICRP-Weed and AICRP-Sesame, with a primary focus on weed management strategies. My research efforts have resulted in multiple publications in reputed journals, and I gained extensive experience in applied agricultural research, particularly in weed dynamics and control measures.

Rice cultivation is vital for global food security, yet transplanted rice needs significant labour, energy and water, leading to soil degradation. So, dry direct-seeded rice (DDSR) is a promising alternative, but weed management remains a challenge. Hence, a field experiment was conducted to investigate efficacy of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) spr...
Soil samples were collected from field experimental area for weed seed bank analysis. Results revealed Echinochloa colona as the predominant weed species on all counts, with its density significantly influenced by various weed management practices. Lower Echinochloa colona weed seed density was observed with pendimethalin 678 g/ha (38.7 CS) fb bisp...
