OverviewAI-generated summary
Krishnarao Gandham's research focuses on understanding insect-plant interactions, particularly how environmental factors and plant characteristics influence herbivore behavior and crop physiology. His work investigates the role of sensory cues in insect oviposition, examining how specific plant traits, such as those in soybean and rice, can deter or attract pests like the fall armyworm. Gandham also explores the broader impacts of environmental stressors, including drought and herbivory, on crop health and physio-chemical dynamics. His research extends to investigating the gut microbiome of agricultural pests, such as weevils affecting banana crops, and assessing pollinator activity across various vegetable crops. Collaborations include work with Rupesh Kariyat, Andy Pereira, Devi Balakrishnan, and Awais Riaz at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
