Plant Parasitic Nematodes: Diagnosis and Management
暫譯: 植物寄生線蟲：診斷與管理

Dr. P. Parvatha Reddy obtained his Ph. D. degree jointly from the University of Florida, USA, and the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.

Dr. Reddy served as the Director of the prestigious ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) at Bangalore from 1999 to 2002 during which period the Institute was honored with "ICAR Best Institution Award". He also served as the Head, Division of Entomology and Nematology at IIHR and gave tremendous impetus and direction to research, extension, and education in developing bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops. These technologies are being practiced widely by the farmers across the country since they are effective, economical, eco-friendly and residue-free. Dr. Reddy has about 34 years of experience working with horticultural crops and involved in developing an F1 tomato hybrid "Arka Varadan" resistant to root-knot nematodes.

Dr. Reddy has over 250 scientific publications to his credit, which also include 60 books. He has guided two Ph.D. students at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.

Dr. Reddy is among the Top 2% Scientists of the World in the Stanford University Rankings based on standardized citation metrics that reflect the most influential researchers globally during 2023-24. Dr. Reddy is serving as Senior Scientific Advisor, Dr. Prem Nath Agricultural Science Foundation, Bangalore. He had also served as Chairman, Research Advisory Committee (RAC), Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi; Member, RAC of National Centre for Integrated Pest Management, New Delhi; Member of the Expert Panel for monitoring the research program of National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) in the theme of Horticulture including Pest Dynamics and Pollinators; Member of the RAC of the National Research Centre for Citrus, Nagpur; and the Project Directorate of Biological Control, Bangalore. He served as a Member, QRT to review the progress of the Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Trivandrum; AICRP on Tuber Crops; AICRP on Nematodes; and AINRP on Betel vine. He is the Honorary Fellow of the Nematological Society of India, New Delhi; and the Society for Plant Protection Sciences, New Delhi; Fellow of the Indian Phytopathological Society, New Delhi; and Founder President of the Association for Advancement of Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems (AAPMHE), Bangalore.

Dr. Reddy has been awarded with the prestigious "Association for Advancement of Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems Award", "Dr. G.I. D'Souza Memorial Award", "Prof. H.M. Shah Memorial Award", "Hexamar Agricultural Research and Development Foundation Award" and "PNASF Award for Independent Author of Large Number of Books (more than 60) on Horticulture and Nutrition" for his unstinted efforts in developing sustainable, bio-intensive and eco-friendly integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops.

Dr. Reddy has organized "Fourth International Workshop on Biological Control and Management of Chromolaena odorata", "National Seminar on Hi-Tech Horticulture", "First National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops: Environmental Implications and Thrusts", and "Second National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops: New Molecules and Biopesticides".

Dr. P. Parvatha Reddy 取得了美國佛羅里達大學與班加羅爾農業科學大學的聯合博士學位。

Dr. Reddy 曾於1999年至2002年擔任班加羅爾著名的 ICAR-印度園藝研究所 (IIHR) 的所長，在此期間該研究所榮獲「ICAR最佳機構獎」。他還擔任 IIHR 昆蟲學與線蟲學部門的負責人，為發展園藝作物的生物強化綜合害蟲管理策略提供了巨大的推動力和方向。這些技術因其有效、經濟、環保且無殘留而被全國的農民廣泛應用。Dr. Reddy 擁有約34年的園藝作物工作經驗，並參與開發抗根結線蟲的 F1 番茄雜交品種「Arka Varadan」。

Dr. Reddy 擁有超過250篇科學出版物，其中包括60本書籍。他曾在班加羅爾農業科學大學指導兩名博士生。

根據斯坦福大學的標準引用指標，Dr. Reddy 是全球前2%的科學家，這反映了2023-24年間全球最具影響力的研究人員。Dr. Reddy 現在擔任班加羅爾 Dr. Prem Nath 農業科學基金會的高級科學顧問。他還曾擔任印度蔬菜研究所 (Varanasi) 研究諮詢委員會 (RAC) 主席；新德里國家綜合害蟲管理中心的 RAC 成員；監測國家氣候韌性農業倡議 (NICRA) 的專家小組成員，主題包括園藝作物的害蟲動態和授粉者；納格浦爾國家柑橘研究中心的 RAC 成員；以及班加羅爾生物防治項目指導處的成員。他曾擔任中央塊根作物研究所 (Trivandrum) 進展評估的 QRT 成員；塊根作物的 AICRP；線蟲的 AICRP；以及檳榔的 AINRP。他是新德里線蟲學會的名譽會員；新德里植物保護科學學會的會員；新德里印度植物病理學會的會員；以及班加羅爾園藝生態系統害蟲管理促進協會 (AAPMHE) 的創始會長。

Dr. Reddy 因其在發展可持續、生物強化和環保的園藝作物綜合害蟲管理策略方面的努力，獲得了「園藝生態系統害蟲管理促進協會獎」、「Dr. G.I. D'Souza 紀念獎」、「Prof. H.M. Shah 紀念獎」、「Hexamar 農業研究與發展基金會獎」以及「PNASF 獨立作者獎（超過60本）在園藝和營養方面的著作」。

Dr. Reddy 組織了「第四屆國際生物防治與 Chromolaena odorata 管理研討會」、「高科技園藝全國研討會」、「第一屆園藝作物害蟲管理全國研討會：環境影響與重點」以及「第二屆園藝作物害蟲管理全國研討會：新分子與生物農藥」。
