Pichu Rengasamy

Dr Pichu Rengasamy is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology, University of Adelaide. His work is centered on critical soil constraints affecting agricultural productivity.

His research focuses on soil salinity, sodicity, and dispersivity, with an emphasis on how these conditions impact crop production. He investigates abiotic stress in alkaline soils, subsoil limitations, and the role of exchangeable cations in maintaining soil structural stability. These areas are vital for sustainable agriculture in salt-affected environments.

While specific publications and awards are not listed in the provided text, his research profile indicates a strong focus on environmental soil processes and their implications for farming systems. As a Research Fellow, he contributes to advancing knowledge in soil health and land management.

Dr Rengasamy is eligible for research supervision and is actively involved in the academic and research community at the University of Adelaide. He is part of a broader team addressing agricultural and environmental challenges through scientific inquiry.
