The mission of crop physiology lab at School of Applied Sciences & Agriculture at
Suresh Gyan Vihar University is to conduct high-quality research and provide first-rate training in a
collegial, friendly atmosphere. We foster academic excellence
by providing a stimulating environment for learning and research. We encourage creative thinking, engage
in rigorous discussions, and promote and strive for collaborative research within and across
disciplines. We strive to maintain a dynamic
research environment, a diverse group of individuals, and are interested in a collaborative research
projects at the local, national, and international level. The overall theme of our research is to
develop a better understanding of crop responses
to their environment, and to translate that understanding into the development of efficient and
sustainable cropping practices. Production of sufficient food to sustain an increasing number of people
on our planet in the face of global environmental
changes is a tremendous challenge. Future food, feed, fibre, and energy needs will require the
development of plants and production practices that generate greater yields per unit area. Our lab is
interested in problem-solving research that
addresses real-world issues. Group members conduct experiments at various scales and employ a broad
range of techniques in the hope that we can contribute knowledge useful to address real problems.
Entomology Laboratory
The Entomology Laboratory at the School of Agriculture continues to be the pioneer in
the physiology of insect/plant interactions and the ecology of parasite/host and predator/prey
interactions. In the last decade research on arthropod vectors
of human and animal diseases complemented the research at the Laboratory. Our Entomology Laboratory is a
world-class graduate training and research place committed to advancing research in insect biology in
both basic and applied contexts.
Our faculty and staff members work hard along with our students. We mould them to be dynamic and
encourage them to participate in the interdisciplinary research and teaching environment in order to
prepare them to have a good future in entomology.
Hydroponics Research Laboratory
The Hydroponics Research Laboratory of School of Applied Sciences and
Agriculture at Suresh Gyan Vihar University is dedicated to experimenting with hydroponic crop
production methods to maximize efficiency and sustainability of resources in agriculture.
While here grow a number of crops for personal consumption and market sales, our primary focus is the
scientific development of hydroponic endangered medicinal and ornamental plant production and creation
of a commercial market for such products.
Plant Breeding and Genetics Laboratory
The Plant Breeding and Genetics Laboratory (PBG Laboratory) includes
collaboration between Agriculture and Biotechnology Laboratories. As a part of the Sustainable
Intensification of Crop Production Systems, PBG Laboratory is aimed at assisting
national plant breeding programmes in the use of mutation techniques and modern biotechnologies to
develop better varieties of major and under-utilized food and industrial crops. Here, we carry out this
task through the provision of services,
individual and group training programmes, and through research and development activities.
