Anitha MadapakulaPh.D. Student, Agricultural and Biological EngineeringResearch focus: Under the UF/IFAS Stakeholder Engagement Program (STEP), my research evaluates Best Management Practices (BMPs) to improve crop yield, nitrogen use efficiency, and water use efficiency in corn production systems using crop and hydrological modeling. I am particularly interested in exploring different crop and water balance models to improve irrigation efficiency and sustainable water use in agricultural systems. Education:

I was born and raised in Vinukonda, a city in the Guntur district and Andhra Pradesh state of India. My passion for Agriculture began with my undergraduate studies. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from Centurion University of Technology and Management, Parlakhemundi, Odisha, India. In 2024, I took on a new and exciting challenge by enrolling in a Master's program at Mississippi State University, where my research focuses on Irrigation Water Management of Soybean Using Remote Sensing and Crop Modelling, which strengthened my interest in data driven and technology based solutions for water management in agriculture. Currently, I am working as a PhD student in Precision Water Management Lab in University of Florida. my research interests include crop modeling, remote sensing, irrigation water management, and evapotranspiration (ET). In the long term, I aspire to develop as a skilled researcher and contribute to advancing precision water management strategies that support sustainable crop production. |
