Environmental Characterization
One of the important tasks we use crop model for is characterization of environments (EC) for the major abiotic production constraints (“envirotyping”)…
Personnel Exchange Programme-Indo-German Joint Research collaboration – Root hydraulics and its possible use in crop improvement programs
This project involves utilization of interdisciplinary expertise in soil physics, plant physiology and biological systems modeling to progress understanding of water movement through soil-plant-atmosphere continuum with emphasis on characterization of rhizosphere/root hydraulic processes and their impact on drought adaptation.

USAID – Feed the Future Innovation Lab – Climate Resilient Sorghum
The drier parts of the world are where development challenges are the greatest and market failure is most acute, and few if any of these are more urgent than the ‘Sahel’ region of Africa. Its unusual tolerance of low inputs, especially water, make the cereal crop sorghum essential to human populations in the Sahel, where episodic drought is a fact of life. Despite its importance, sorghum improvement has lagged that of maize, wheat and rice, largely if not entirely due to greater effort invested in the ‘Big Three’.
