MANIMARAN GAJENDIRAN

About

I am Manimaran Gajendiren, a research associate in the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU). My research focuses on soil fertility and Long-Term Fertility Experiments (LTFE), with a specific interest in the role of sulphur, carbon, and silicon in improving soil health and crop productivity. Through my work, I aim to contribute to sustainable agricultural practices by exploring effective soil management strategies. I enjoy collaborating with other researchers and guiding students in soil science
