Rate My Professor Bhupinder Farmaha

Farmaha's research specializations include developing nutrient management practices and precision agriculture technologies for major crops to maximize economic returns, minimize nutrient losses such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and enhance soil health. He verifies and updates fertilizer recommendations for South Carolina crops, evaluates the impacts of cover crops on nutrient dynamics and soil health, identifies biological indicators for nutrient recycling via pre-plant soil sampling, and advances nutrient use efficiency to boost yields. Key publications include Dubey et al. (2026) 'Cotton lint yield responses to nitrogen fertilization are diverse in South Carolina' in Agronomy Journal; Franzluebbers et al. (2025) 'Soil-profile fertility is altered by soil texture and land use across physiographic regions in the southeastern United States' in Agronomy Journal; Farmaha et al. (2022) 'Cover cropping and conservation tillage improve soil health in the southeastern United States' in Agronomy Journal; and Slaton et al. (2024) 'Models and sufficiency interpretation for estimating critical soil test values for the Fertilizer Recommendation Support Tool' in Soil Science Society of America Journal. With over 1,630 citations documented on Google Scholar, Farmaha's contributions guide farmers in optimizing fertilizer use amid economic pressures and environmental concerns through on-farm trials and extension outreach.
