Dr. Amandeep Kaur is a researcher in Horticulture with a Ph.D. in Crop Science from Oklahoma State University. She also holds an M.S. Horticulture from Oklahoma State University, an M.Sc. Botany from Punjab Agricultural University, India, and a B.Sc. Botany from the same institution. Her research focuses on pecan production systems, integrating plant physiology, soil–microbe interactions, and nutrient management. She studies physiological mechanisms underlying tree performance, with emphasis on abiotic stress responses such as spring freeze and low-temperature stress, carbohydrate allocation and rootstock–scion interactions. Her work includes nitrogen fertilization effects on nutrient uptake efficiency, mycorrhizal fungi diversity, beneficial fungal associations, pecan flowering phenology, and orchard management practices including pruning, alternate bearing regulation, harvest operations, nut growth modeling, and carbohydrate budgeting. Dr. Kaur has published peer-reviewed articles in Horticulture Research, Frontiers in Plant Science, HortScience, and Scientia Horticulturae, and has presented at ASHS conferences. She is a member of ASHS, ASA, CSSA, and SSSA. She received the Graduate Research Excellence Award from Oklahoma State University (2026) for her dissertation research. Her research interests include sustainable orchard systems, plant stress physiology, microbial ecology in perennial crops, and improving fruit crop productivity under changing environmental conditions.
