My main research area is plant-microbe interactions and plant biochemistry. I focus on using beneficial microbes as sustainable and ecological strategies to improve plant health and growth. This includes detailed investigations on the biotic and abiotic factors influencing beneficial microbes like mycorrhizal fungi and the impact of these microbes on plant growth parameters, nutrient uptake, and resistance against pests and diseases. My work also involves studying the impact of management practices on plant physiology and plant biochemistry as well as the accumulation of primary and secondary metabolites in the plant bio-compartments.
