Bhupinder Singh

Bhupinder Singh is an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist in Agronomy at the University of Arizona's School of Plant Sciences, College of Agriculture, Life & Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on developing cropping systems and physiological solutions for Arizona's desert agriculture, addressing challenges like abiotic (drought, heat) and biotic (nematodes) stresses. He holds a Ph.D. in Agronomy (Crop Physiology) from Mississippi State University and postdoctoral experience in remote sensing and crop modeling at the University of Missouri and Texas A&M.

Education: B.Sc. (Agricultural Sciences) from Punjab Agricultural University, India; M.S. & Ph.D. in Agronomy from Mississippi State University.

Research emphasizes crop adaptation mechanisms, precision agriculture tools, and climate-smart farming practices. His work spans cotton, soybean, sorghum, and cover crops, with recent focus on desert environmental impacts and conservation agriculture. He collaborates on projects involving crop modeling, remote sensing applications, and farmer-extension partnerships.

Key research themes include: 1) Stress tolerance screening methodologies, 2) Climate change adaptation strategies, 3) Integrated pest management for nematodes, 4) Water use efficiency optimization. His program bridges agronomic research with practical extension solutions for Arizona stakeholders.

Recent publications highlight crop response to temperature extremes, irrigation management, and disease resistance mapping. He actively participates in scientific symposia addressing nitrogen management and agroecosystem modeling under climate change. His work has been showcased through extension posters and student competitions.

Laboratory and field research is conducted through the School of Plant Sciences' facilities, with outreach activities coordinated through Cooperative Extension networks.
