Dr. Prem Lal Kashyap is a scientist (Plant Pathology) at ICAR -Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal. He obtained his M. Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India. He has been actively engaged in wheat pathology research. His major research interests include molecular biology of wheat pathogens, population biology, host-pathogen interactions and biological disease management. He joined wheat pathology programme in 2016 and contributed to the development of multiple disease resistance cultivars and genetics stocks, identification of new races of yellow rust of wheat in India, molecular diagnostics technologies for precise and rapid identification of fungal pathogens and sustainable diseases management practices besides capacity building of several stakeholders across India for linking science with society. His interactions and visits to different countries including, the USA, Mexico, Kenya, Bolivia and Bangladesh have helped insignificant exchange of ideas and improved research outputs. He has published more than 70 research articles in high impact journals and edited 6 books. He served Indian Phytopathological Society (IPS) as a Zonal councilor and associated with several international peer reviewed journals in the capacity of associate editor and reviewer. Dr. Kashyap is a recipient of several awards including Dr. Basant Ram Young Scientist Award, Prof. Abrar Mustafa Memorial Award, M. K. Patel Memorial Young Scientist Award and Prof. Mahatim Singh Memorial Award. He received Young Scientist Award and Associateship of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (India) for his outstanding contribution in the field of crop protection.
