RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (2000 to date)

MSc., (Ag.) Thesis work: Studies on evaluation of antifeedant and insecticidal properties of certain plant extracts against brinjal pest complex and Spodoptera litura Fab.” Guide: Dr. K. C. Chitra, Professor, S. V. Agricultural College, ANGRAU, Tirupati, A. P. India.

Ph. D Thesis work: Bio-ecology, population dynamics and prey-predator-ant interactions with reference to aphid, Aphis punicae Passerini in pomegranate ecosystem” Guide: Dr. Abraham Verghese, Principal Scientist, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Apart from the Post graduate and Doctoral research work, worked on following aspects:

Biorational approaches for the management of pests:

- Studied functional and numerical responses of dominant predators viz., Cheilomenes sexmaculata F., Scymnus sp. and Paragus serratus against aphids in pomegranate ecosystem and developed foraging models. - Associated with pest risk analysis of fruit flies in South India and evaluation of indigenous lures/baits against tephritid fruit flies. - The mite, Sancassania karnatakaiensis was found infesting grubs of different species of melolonthines and rutelines and documented as key mortality factor.

Host plant resistance:

- Screened several acid lime accessions for insect pests in general and rust mite and thrips in particular and found three cultivars, Selection 1, 21 and Vikram to be resistant. - Associated with the release of Petlur Selection 1 acid lime variety (resistant to canker and prolific bearer) in Andhra Pradesh. - Screened 40 field bean accessions for insect resistance particularly against pod borers and found that four cultivars to be relatively resistant. - Screened pigeon pea cultivars against pod borers and mite (vector of sterility mosaic) and found that TRG 38 as relatively resistant compared to LRG 41 and TRG 22.

Insect pollinator studies:

- Studied diurnal insect pollinator diversity and foraging ecology in sunflower, niger, safflower, mustard, linseed, bitter gourd crop ecosystems - Studied nocturnal insect pollinator diversity and foraging ecology in bottle gourd and ridge gourd crop ecosystems - Studied the impact of Apis mellifera and other non-Apis bees on yield of oilseed crops.

Insect Biosystematics:

Working on Biodiversity and Biosystematics of Coleoptera especially and Cerambycidae of agro, horticultural and forest ecosystems. Working on immature and adult along with molecular systematics of major scarabaeid and cerambycid species.

- Carried out extensive surveys in 45 locations of seventeen states viz., Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and intensive surveys in 15 locations especially sugarcane growing areas of western Uttar Pradesh for collection of adults and grubs of Scarabaeidae. Mapping of pestiferous species was carried out for these States and worked out species composition and diversity of each location and each state through Whittaker’s rank abundance and Preston plot. - Discovered and described 23 new species of white grubs belonging to Melolonthinae and Rutelinae of Scarabaeidae and recorded two new reports to the country and 30 new distributional records to the different states of the country. - Egg external morphology of 24 species belonging to Melolonthinae and Rutelinae was studied through Light microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The egg chorion ultrasculpture were documented through SEM micrographs and species specific characters were recorded. Also carried out elemental analysis of egg chorion through Electron dispersive X-ray detector attached to SEM. - Larval taxonomic characters of 24 major species belonging to Melolonthinae and Rutelinae of Indian fauna were documented for the first time. These are supported with 380 line drawings and 440 photographs by coding 43 characters. - Taxonomic studies were carried out on adults of major species of phytophagous Scarabaeidae and documented the distinguishing characters. - Taxonomic studies on Cerambycidae of horticultural crops were carried out. - DNA barcodes were generated for 50 species of white grubs and tree borers belonging to Scarabaeidae and Cerambycidae and submitted to NCBI for public reference.
