Prem Lal Kashyap

About

Obtained M. Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India. Actively engaged in wheat pathology research and made an outstanding and pioneering contribution in the area of wheat pathogenomics, biomarker development, biocontrol and integrated disease management. Contributed to the development of four high yielding multiple disease resistance cultivars (DBW173, DBW187, DBW202 and DBW303), four wheat genetics stocks, identification of several new races of yellow and brown rust of wheat, molecular diagnostics technologies for precise and rapid identification of wheat pathogens and different sustainable diseases management practices besides capacity building of several stakeholders. Also involved in the development of a “GEHOON DOCTOR” mobile app and identification of several new chemical molecules for the management of wheat diseases and pests. Visited different countries including, the USA, Mexico, Kenya, Bolivia and Bangladesh for significant exchange of ideas and improved research outputs. Recognized with several prestigious awards including Young Scientist Award and Associateship of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (India), Dr. Basant Ram Young Scientist Award, Prof. Abrar Mustafa Memorial Award, M. K. Patel Memorial Young Scientist Award and Prof. Mahatim Singh Memorial Award etc.
