Research Facilities - Plant Physiology Program

Plant Physiology Program is equipped with laboratory, greenhouse and field testing facilities:

Spectrophotometry 

  • Quantitative measurements organic solutes i.e. Leaf chlorophyll, carbohydrates, proteins, proline and antioxidants etc.

 

Flame Photometry

  • Quantitative measurements inorganic solutes i.e. sodium and potassium ions concentration

 

Spectral reflectance techniques

  • Infrared thermometry (crop canopy temperature measurement)
  • Leaf chlorophyll (SPAD value)
  • NDVI sensing (vegetation index measurements)
  • Photosynthetic efficiency (Infrared Gas analyzer)

Morphological & agronomic traits measurements
