About

Prasanta Bhowmik is a leading figure in sustainable agriculture, with a primary focus on integrated weed management and the ecological impacts of herbicide use. His research bridges agronomy and environmental science, emphasizing non-chemical weed control strategies that reduce reliance on synthetic herbicides. Bhowmik’s most-cited work, "Sustainable Weed Management" (2019), with 16 citations, synthesizes decades of field studies to propose practical frameworks for managing herbicide-resistant weeds while preserving soil health and biodiversity. He has been instrumental in advancing cover cropping, crop rotation, and mechanical weeding techniques, demonstrating their efficacy in both conventional and organic systems. Beyond his publications, Bhowmik has contributed to global policy discussions on pesticide regulation and has mentored numerous graduate students who now lead sustainable agriculture programs worldwide. His work is widely cited by researchers in weed science, agroecology, and environmental policy, reflecting its impact on shifting agricultural practices toward long-term ecological resilience.
