We feed the World

About myself.....

I am Dwarika Bhattarai, a Ph. D. student in the Department of Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD. I did my MS in Plant Science from the same university and BS in Agriculture from the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Lamjung Campus, Tribhuwan University, Nepal. At present, I am working on a no-tillage corn nitrogen recommendation that considers soil health. Besides, I have been taking statistics courses to get a Data Science certificate. My PI and I are looking forward to using machine learning techniques to develop optimal nitrogen fertilizer recommendations for corn that considers soil physical, chemical, and biological properties.
