My specialization includes Fungal Pathology, Biocontrol, Molecular Biology, and Integrated Disease Management, with a strong focus on sustainable plant protection. My work emphasizes understanding pathogen biology and host–pathogen interactions and applying eco-friendly approaches for disease control. I’m particularly interested in the development and application of biological control agents and molecular techniques to detect, characterize, and manage plant pathogens. My approach integrates advanced molecular tools with field-level disease management practices to enhance crop health, reduce chemical dependence, and promote sustainable agricultural systems.
