Biography

Academic Background: Dr. Sanjay Chadha is a distinguished scientist and educator in vegetable science, with a specialization in plant breeding and organic farming. He earned his Ph.D. in Vegetable Science from CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (CSK HPKV), Palampur, in 1998. He also completed his M.Sc. in Vegetable Science and B.Sc. in Agriculture from the same institution.

Professional Career: Dr. Chadha is currently serving as a Principal Scientist in the Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture at CSK HPKV, Palampur. His career spans various roles, including research, teaching, and leadership in vegetable breeding and organic farming. He has been involved in breeding programs for bacterial wilt-resistant hybrids in tomato and CMS-based hybrids in cabbage. His work extends to the development of organic farming technologies, including vegetable production under polyhouse conditions.

Publications and Research: Dr. Chadha has contributed extensively to academic and applied research. He has authored:

• 62 peer-reviewed journal articles focusing on vegetable breeding, genetic analysis, and sustainable agriculture.
• 4 books and 5 book chapters on relevant topics in horticulture and vegetable science.
• 39 conference papers presented at national and international forums.

His recent publications include studies on genetic evaluation and heterosis in cabbage, as well as path coefficient analysis in tomato hybrids. These works aim to improve yield and resistance traits in vegetables under diverse agro-climatic conditions?
