Professional Biography
Srinadh is an agronomist and applied plant scientist with expertise in field trial design, crop protection, soil and nutrient management, and UAV based phenotyping. His research integrates classical agronomy with modern sensing tools to improve decision making for producers in semi arid regions.
Before joining DREC, he completed his PhD in Agronomy, Horticulture & Plant Science, where he led multi location field experiments, developed disease diagnostic protocols, and applied mixed model statistical approaches (R/SAS) to evaluate genotype × environment interactions and management responses.
At DREC, his work supports NDSU’s mission to deliver locally relevant, producer focused research for western North Dakota. His projects include:
• Dryland cropping systems research
• Soil fertility and nutrient management trials
• Crop protection and disease monitoring
• UAV/drone imagery acquisition and analysis
• Phenotyping for stress tolerance and yield stability
• Statistical modeling of field data using mixed models
His research aims to improve agronomic recommendations, enhance sustainability, and strengthen the resilience of cropping systems in the northern Great Plains.
