OverviewAI-generated summary
Krishnarao Gandham's research focuses on understanding insect-plant interactions, particularly concerning agricultural pests and their impact on crop yield. His work investigates how environmental factors and plant characteristics influence herbivore behavior, such as oviposition. Gandham has examined the role of olfactory and sensory cues in soybean plants that can selectively reduce the egg-laying of the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). He has also studied how rice genes, like 'HYR', affect plant defense mechanisms and influence fall armyworm growth and host selection. His research extends to exploring the gut microbiome of insect pests, specifically weevils affecting banana crops, and the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on crop physiology. Gandham also contributes to understanding pollinator abundance in vegetable cropping systems.
