I am working in CIBA since 2016, as scientist in the Environment section of Aquatic Animal Health and Environmental Division, after joining Agricultural Research Service. I have done my Masters in Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry from GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru and PhD in Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry from IARI, New Delhi, during which I worked on the soil quality and carbon saturation and stability of carbon in soils of long term fertiliser experiments. I currently work in CIBA, on the use of safe alternate disinfectants in aquaculture and also in the mineral supplementations required in low saline aquaculture. I have contributed in the development of multi parameter water analysis kit. My research interests are the different carbon fractions in varying pond sediments and their significance, carbon mineralisation pattern under varying abiotic conditions, effect of ageing of ponds on sustainable production and use of fish waste hydrolysates as rich, alternate source of manure for varying vegetable and flowering crops.
- Carbon fractions in pond sediments and their significance
