The Department of Plant Pathology was created in 1947. Dr. M. J. Thirumalachar was
the first Head of the Department. He was succeeded by Dr. N. Prasad, Dr. M. K. Patel, Dr M. V.
Desai, Prof. A. J. Patel. Under their capable leadership, the Department expanded to include
many dedicated faculty members like, Dr. J. G. Patel, Dr. B. K. Patel, Dr. Ashok Mishra, Dr.
G.B. Valand and many more, whose contributions made the Department as the recognized leader
in the country in the field of Plant Virology, Seed Pathology, Biological control, Mushroom
culture, Management of Plant diseases, etc.
Presently, the department is headed by Dr. R. N. Pandey and members of the
Department include 1 Professor, 4 Associate Professors, 3 Assistant Professors, 2 technical
assistant and 3 supporting staffs. The entire faculty strives hard to achieve the excellence in the
field of education, research and extension. The department is surging ahead with the researches
in the field of Plant Virology, Seed Pathology, Biological control of Plant diseases, mushroom
culture, management of plant disease, management of post harvest diseases, etc.. The department
is having 11 different project viz. AICRP on Seed Technology Research-NSP (Crops) & Lead
centre of seed borne viruses, State Non plan for catering the need of education and plant and pest
disease management; Plan Projects on Plant virology, Biocontrol of plant disease, Mushroom
culture, GSBTM project, other agency funded projects, etc. Besides, the department has well
developed art of state laboratory of plant virology, biological control and seed pathology. The
department is producing Anubhav Trichoderma for the use of the farmers as transfer of
biocontrol technology.
Mandate and Objectives of the Department:
 Imparting education to under-graduate and post-graduate students.
 Providing guidance to post graduate students for their thesis research work.
 Counseling of U.G. students for JRF examination and P.G. students for SRF, NET,
ARS and other competitive examination and personality development.
 Conducting researches useful to the farmers and undertaking research projects
sponsored by State Government, ICAR, other agencies, etc.

 Providing disease diagnosis and advisory services to the farmers for disease
management.
 Extending extension services to the farmers, State Department of Agriculture,
NGOs, etc. by participation in agricultural fair, Krishi mahotsav, Ratri sabha, radio talk,
Door darshan, extension literatures i.e. popular articles, leaflet, folder etc.
