Extension
Although Maity’s research program does not have a formal outreach component, the research questions are derived from the relevant large-scale surveys in growers’ fields and the interactive discussions with growers in the extension meetings. The conclusions and solutions coming out of the research projects are translated into extension recommendations through appropriate extension channels and media.
