About the author
Mr. Sandip V. Rathod (Assistant Research Scientist, Soil Science Division) has eight years of teaching and research experience. His research interests include the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agroecosystems, the use of effluent water for agricultural purposes, remediation of heavy metal–contaminated soil and nano fertilizers, and its impact on soil properties. He has handled research projects on the reuse of wastewater and nanofertilizers. He is actively involved in the dissemination of agricultural technologies to farmers through the organization of various training programs and through TV and radio talks. He acted as co-coordinator for a training program on soil and water testing for agriculture. His publication profile includes 15 research papers, 1 book chapter, 2 books, 2 teaching manuals, and 15 popular articles.
