I'm advancing crop improvement programs at Acsen Agriscience through speed breeding, pre-breeding, crop agronomy, phenotyping, and data analysis. My work includes doubled haploid line development in maize and donor-line maintenance for chilli and mustard under controlled greenhouse conditions.

I manage D0 nurseries and optimize hardening, nutrient, light, plant growth regulator, and chemical-treatment protocols for crops including mustard, cauliflower, chilli, cucumber, cabbage, okra, and bajra. I also support greenhouse and field trials through crop monitoring, trait evaluation, agronomic assessment, documentation, and scientific reporting.

Alongside this work, I manage global potato industry research and SEO-focused content for PotatoPro, covering agronomy, processing, nutrition, pests and diseases, markets, machinery, storage, packaging, and industry developments. I use GA4 insights to improve content visibility, engagement, and strategy.

My research background includes white onion genetic variability, AICRP potato varietal trials, marigold seed production at Kemin Industries, and seed quality work at Indo-American Hybrid Seeds. I've published research and review papers on crop improvement, onion production, and parthenocarpy in vegetable crops.
