About the College
S.V.Agricultural College, Tirupathi was established in
the year 1960. The Department of Plant Physiology was
constituted in the year 1978. M.Sc(Ag) and Ph.D programme in
Plant Physiology was initiated in the year 1985 and 2011
respectively .The Plant Physiology Club (APAU) was started in
the year 1985 aiming at integration of Plant Physiologists of
ANGRAU for teaching and research advancements through
the conduct of meetings
About the Seminar
India has made great strides in increasing food grain
production since the Green Revolution era of the mid-sixties. In
the recent past, the growth rates in horticulture, livestock and
fishery sectors have been impressive and have significantly
contributed towards agricultural gross domestic product (GDP
agri). The average agriculture sector growth over the last three
years has remained around 3.7%. Nevertheless, the declining
total factor productivity, diminishing and degrading natural
resources and stagnating farm incomes have become major
concerns. The impact of trade liberalization on agriculture and
the global climate change are new challenges. At the same
time, new opportunities are emerging for Indian agriculture.
Commercialization of agriculture, diversification towards
high-value commodities and integration with the global markets
are the new opportunities. It appears that the Indian
agriculture, being at the cross-roads, is currently facing both
unprecedented challenges and unparalleled opportunities.
Plant Physiologists consistently played an important
role by elucidating various conventional physiological and
biochemical processes with implications in crop improvement
through breeding or by molecular approaches. Green
revolution has made us self- sufficient in food grain production
because of the development of high yielding varieties having
high harvest index, photo-insensitivity and high fertilizer
responsiveness. However, uncontrolled and disproportionate
application of fertilizers has also resulted in deficiencies and
toxicity of nutrients in our soil, besides creating problem of
pollution of underground water resources. There is an urgent
need of developing strategies to alleviate these disorders in
order to boost crop productivity. Studies on basic processes
like photosynthesis and other biochemical functions for
ultimate synthesis of agricultural produce under biotic and
abiotic stresses are of tremendous significance. Therefore in
order to meet ever increasing demand of food grains,
physiological and molecular interventions are need of the hour
to enhance crop quality as well as quantity.
Plant Physiology has immensely contributed and
provided advances in plant sciences research in agriculture,
forestry, horticulture, and plant molecular biology. Therefore, it
was envisaged to conduct a ISPP South Zonal Seminar on
“Crop physiology: Emerging Challenges and Opportunities for
Sustainable Agriculture” at S.V. Agricultural College Tirupati.
Hopefully, academics and agricultural scientists from various
universities as well as research institutes across South Zone of
ISPP will participate and exchange their meaningful research
outcome.
Technical sessions
The seminar consists of invited lectures and poster
presentations covering the following areas :
1. Physiological aspects of crop productivity, crop modelling,
nutrio-physiology and growth regulators.
2. Physiological and molecular approaches for abiotic and
biotic stress and its management.
3. Biotechnological and nanotechnological interventions for
enhancing crop productivity.
4. Natural resources management, biodiversity and
germplasm conservation.
5. Sustainable agriculture in relation to climate change.
6. Physiology of horticultural, plantation and medicinal plants.
Scientific program and abstract
The seminar features invited talks and poster presentation
only. Participants are requested to send typed abstract in
duplicate on good quality A4 size paper leaving 2.5 cm margin
along with a soft copy of the same through email attachment.
The file should have the name of the author. The abstract
should be typed in English using MS word single space ( Font :
Times New Roman, Font size : 12) and should not exceed 250
words . Abstract should contain title of the paper, name of
authors, followed by their address and email. The name of the
author presenting the paper should be underlined. The hard
copy of the abstract should be sent to Dr. G. Rama Rao ,
Organizing Secretary. The soft copy of the abstract should be
submitted by email to [email protected] on or before
20th February 2015.
