Biography
• I, P. Bharat Chandra Working as Maize Pathologist In Acharya N.G Ranga Agricultural University, Andhra Pradesh , India. My research programs will include Farmer training, coordination with grower/producers groups, plant disease fact sheets, as well as plant disease control and management options based on field trials and experiments. Applied research will involve characterizing plant pathogens and the diseases they cause in order to implement practices. I provide advice, guidance, innovative solutions and links to several research groups involved in international agricultural research and development. My effort to modernize the field trials included the implementation of breeding data management software and databases to facilitate management and coordination, improve efficiencies and simplify decisions and selections. Execute provide leadership in improvement program of center, which focuses on developing improved lines resistant to diseases and major biotic stresses.
