Title: Impact of Biofumigation Cover Crops and tillage on soil and crop health

Bio: Karthik Karuppanan is a master’s student in Soil Science at Oregon State University, working under the guidance of Dr. Udayakumar Sekaran. He earned his undergraduate degree in Agricultural Science at Vellore Institute of Technology, India. His Master thesis focuses on the impact of biofumigation cover crops and tillage on soil and crop health, with emphasis on the soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, as well as on weeds and onions growth. The primary goal of his research is to identify the effective cover crop and conservative tillage practices for Eastern Oregon growers to improve onion production, enhance soil health, increase economic returns, and reduce pest pressure.
