College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences

•  Michigan Corn Hybrid Testing Website
• Cropping Systems Agronomy Website 

Overview of current program:

Dr. Singh’s research, extension, and teaching program focuses on current and emerging issues in cropping systems of Michigan with an overall goal to improve the profitability and sustainability of these systems. Current research is focused on management practices such as planting density, precision planting, tillage systems, and plant-disease interactions in corn, soybean, and wheat based cropping systems. Additionally, Dr. Singh provides leadership role in the Michigan corn hybrid testing program.

Courses Taught:

• CSS212 Advanced Crop production, starting Fall 2017.
