Argha Chakraborty

About

I am an Agricultural Biotechnologist with a strong interest in harnessing microbial potential for sustainable agriculture. During my doctoral research, I focused on the role of microbes in waste conversion and the development of organic plant biostimulants. Currently, my work revolves around exploring plant-associated microbiota to design microbe-based solutions that enhance plant growth and strengthen immunity, contributing to eco-friendly and resilient farming practices.
