Summary
Dr. K. Raja Reddy is a Research Professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at Mississippi State University. He is an accomplished researcher in the realm of agricultural science, a respected teacher and mentor to many, while also a leader among his peers.
Dr. Reddy’s research interests include the impact of anthropogenic climate change, remote sensing, and crop modeling applications on agricultural resource management through the lens of environmental plant physiology. He has over 30 years of research experience at Mississippi State and is responsible for and credited with many critical discoveries across multiple facets of agriculture. His research includes the impact of climate change on crop physiology, growth, and development of several outstanding foods, fiber, and native grassland s and forages crops of global importance, cotton, soybean, rice, corn, sorghum, peppers, sweet potato, switchgrass, Bahia grass; remote sensing and stress physiology; and crop model applications.
Dr. Reddy is the author of over 300 publications, including two edited books, 30 book chapters, and 169-refereed journals with an i10 Index of 123. In addition to his research obligations, he developed a capstone graduate-level course, “environmental plant physiology,” that interfaces research, teaching, and learning based on research work he conducted using state-of-the-art sunlit plant growth chamber facilities at Mississippi State.
