Visiting Scientist:
Dr. Varinderpal Singh, a soil scientist of the Department of Soil Science at the Punjab Agricultural University in Ludhiana, India, is currently in the Philippines under the NAST (National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines) - INSA (Indian National Science Academy) International Collaboration Exchange Program from November 15 to December 5, 2011. He is actively involved in the development of site-specific and need-based fertilizer nitrogen management strategies in the cereal crops. He has established fixed time variable nitrogen dose technology using leaf color chart (LCC) in rice. The LCC is a plastic, ruler-shaped strip containing four or more panels that range in color from yellowish green to dark green. It is an easy-to-use and inexpensive diagnostic tool for monitoring the relative greenness of a rice leaf as an indicator of the plant N status. He has also established need-based fertilizer nitrogen management technology in wheat using leaf color chart, chlorophyll meter and Green Seeker optical sensor. He is active in training extension specialists and farmers for the adoption of need-based fertilizer nitrogen management strategies in crops. He has published 12 peer-reviewed research papers and a review article on said topics. |
