Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Mycotoxin, Aflatoxin, Agronomy, Biotechnology and Sorghum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Food contaminant, Cropping, Fusarium, Veterinary medicine and Food safety in addition to Mycotoxin. Ranajit Bandyopadhyay interconnects Contamination, Aspergillus species, Aspergillus and Aspergillus flavus in the investigation of issues within Aflatoxin.

The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Banana Xanthomonas wilt, Fumonisin and Horticulture. Ranajit Bandyopadhyay has included themes like Productivity, Mycology, Food security and Genetic diversity in his Biotechnology study. His Sorghum research also works with subjects such as

  • Viral tegument most often made with reference to Poaceae,
  • Crop together with Hectare.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantitation of Mycotoxins in Food and Feed from Burkina Faso and Mozambique Using a Modern LC-MS/MS Multitoxin Method (155 citations)
  • Distribution and toxigenicity of Aspergillus species isolated from maize kernels from three agro-ecological zones in Nigeria. (151 citations)
  • Ergot: A New Disease Threat to Sorghum in the Americas and Australia (139 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ranajit Bandyopadhyay spends much of his time researching Aflatoxin, Agronomy, Mycotoxin, Sorghum and Aspergillus flavus. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Biological pest control under Aflatoxin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Agroecology. The various areas that Ranajit Bandyopadhyay examines in his Agronomy study include Plant disease resistance and Inoculation, Horticulture.

His work focuses on many connections between Mycotoxin and other disciplines, such as Food safety, that overlap with his field of interest in Food security and Livestock. His Sorghum study incorporates themes from Mold, Panicle and Fodder. His Aspergillus flavus research includes elements of Veterinary medicine, Biotechnology and Crop.
