P. Parvatha Reddy served as the Director of the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) in Bangalore, India. He also held the position of Head of the Division of Entomology and Nematology at IIHR, during which time the institute was honoured with the prestigious ‘ICAR Best Institution Award.’ Specializing in horticultural crops, Dr. Reddy has been involved in developing the F1 tomato hybrid ‘Arka Varadan,’ which is resistant to root-knot nematodes. His work also includes research, extension, and education in bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies for horticultural crops. These effective, eco-friendly, and residue-free technologies are widely adopted by farmers across the country.
