Biography

Arshdeep Singh’s research and extension group focuses on balancing crop production and sustainability goals in agriculture (specifically improving soil water quality). He conducts integrated assessments of agroecosystem performance to optimize resource use efficiencies and crop yields while mitigating negative environmental impacts. He is particularly interested in identifying cropping systems, crop varieties, and management practices that improve resource (nitrogen & water) use efficiencies and soil water quality while reducing carbon footprint. He completed his B.Sc. in Agriculture from Punjab Agricultural University, MS in Natural Resources from Auburn University, AL, and PhD in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
