Center of Excellence on Climate Change Research for Plant Protection (CoE-CCRPP)

  1. Center of Excellence on Climate Change Research for Plant Protection (CoE-CCRPP) DST Goal Approach Expected Outcomes Research Focus Objectives ❖❖ To establish facilities and provide opportunities to Indian public and private research institutes for the research on climate change and its impact on diseases and insect-pests of legumes in the semi- arid tropics (SAT). ❖❖ Develop CoE for enhancing the efficiency of basic, strategic and applied research on effect of climate variables on insect-pests and pathogens of chickpea and pigeonpea. ❖❖ Analyze weather data at regional level and its relationship with resurgence of insect-pests/ pathogens. ❖❖ Evaluate disease/insect-pest resistance in legumes under climate change scenario. ❖❖ Predict and map potential changes in relative abundance and geographical distribution of insect- pests/diseases in chickpea and pigeonpea. ❖❖ Standardize techniques to study insect-pests/ pathogen × host plant × environment interactions. ❖❖ Study biochemical, molecular and genetic interactions between pathogens/insect-pests × host × environment in relation to expression of resistance to the target diseases/insect-pests. ❖❖ Build capacity to undertake research on the effect of climate change on crop protection.
