About
Megha Kaviraj is currently finished a project at the School of GESS in the University of Birmingham, UK and was a former SRF at ICAR-NRRI, Odisha, India. Megha does research in DNRA, plant-microbe interaction, biological nitrogen fixation, the non-target effect of pesticides, continuous application of chemical NPK fertilizers on soil microbiome, biofertilizers and Azolla. Their most recent publication is “Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA): A unique biogeochemical cycle to improve nitrogen (N) use efficiency and reduce N-loss in rice paddy” in Rhizosphere.
