The Department has well trained core faculty members in different areas of Entomology. The masters’ thesis research is designed to address the farmers’ problem. The research programme focus on IPM for sustainable crop protection technology, to develop cost effective, ecologically sustainable pest and disease management measures for agricultural and horticultural crops. The students are also get hands‐on‐training in these fields during thesis work. They are well trained to carryout research independently. IPDM module developed for Chilli and Onion and Instant Residue Indicator Drop method developed for detecting pesticide residues at farm level (patency pending) are some of the outcomes emanated from PG student’s research work. The students were also motivated to publish their thesis work in peer‐reviewed high impact factor journals, which wider opportunities for the students to continue their research at Ph.D. level.
The faculty comprises of two Professors, one Assistant Professor and four visiting faculty to handle the PG courses. Faculties are specialized in various disciplines of Entomology and they undergo frequent training on research, teaching, technical writing and question paper authorization and evaluation procedures. The faculty members of other department of ADAC & RI also handle the minor, non credit compulsory common courses. The course curriculum comprises of one year course work and one year research work under Approved Advisory Committee in a trimester system.
