One hundred and twenty one M.Sc. & Ph.D. students participated in the conference held
at UAHS, Shivamogga and presented their research papers in the field of Agriculture,
Horticulture, Forestry and also review papers on educational reforms in SAUs. The research
papers covered a range of current topics on Biotechnology and Crop Improvement, Nutrient
Management and Crop Production techniques for sustainable agriculture/ horticulture,
Eco-friendly management of pests and diseases, constraints in technology dissemination,
Silviculture and Agroforestry, etc. The research papers were peer-reviewed by panel of experts
