About Bhupinder
Bhupinder Singh serves as Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist in Agronomy within the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona, based at the Maricopa Agricultural Center since August 2024. He earned his Ph.D. in Agronomy with a focus on Crop Physiology from Mississippi State University in 2020 under advisors Drs. Daryl Chastain and K. Raja Reddy, an M.S. in Agronomy from the same institution in 2016, and a B.S. in Soil Science, Agronomy, and Agroforestry from Punjab Agricultural University in India in 2014. His prior appointments include Postdoctoral Research Associate at Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in Vernon (2022-2024), where he worked on crop and ecosystem modeling for pasture and crop management; Postdoctoral Associate at Mississippi State University's National Center for Alluvial Aquifer Research (2021-2022), focusing on water-efficient cropping systems for corn, soybean, and cotton; and Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Missouri's Crop Physiology Lab (2020-2021), studying drought tolerance mechanisms in soybean. Earlier roles as Graduate Research Assistant at Mississippi State involved projects on cotton genotypes, nematode responses, and stress tolerance in rice and soybean.
Singh's research specializes in crop physiology, remote sensing, and crop modeling to enhance agronomic production in Arizona's desert environments. He examines genotype-management-environment interactions to improve crop yield and quality, develops screening tools for abiotic stresses like drought, heat, and soil fertility, as well as biotic stresses such as reniform nematode in crops including cotton, soybean, rice, and cover crops, and assesses long-term impacts of conservation farming under climate change. Notable publications include "Reniform Nematode Impact on Cotton Growth and Management Strategies: A Review" (Agronomy Journal, 2023), "Single and Multispecies Cover Crop Effects on Corn Production and Economic Returns" (Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education, 2023), "Agronomic Characterization of Cotton Genotypes Susceptible and Resistant to Rotylenchulus reniformis in the US Midsouth" (Agronomy Journal, 2021), "Early-Season Growth Responses of Resistant and Susceptible Cotton Genotypes to Reniform Nematode and Soil Potassium" (Agronomy, 2022), and "Crop Evapotranspiration under Changing Climate" (book chapter, Elsevier, 2025). He has authored or co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications and contributes to extension through variety trials on small grains, silage corn, and broccoli water productivity. Awards include the Outstanding Agricultural Postdoc Award from the Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin (2022), Gerald O. Mott Meritorious Graduate Student Award in Crop Science from CSSA (2018), and multiple graduate poster competition wins. Singh serves as Associate Editor for Agronomy Journal and Journal of Crop Improvement, reviews for 65 journals, and engages farmers via Cooperative Extension, workshops, podcasts, and social media.
