Graduation in Agriculture, post-graduation and a doctorate in Environmental Sciences have provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the environmental problems relating to air, water, and soil ecosystems. Agricultural sciences, crop production, rice cultivation, biodiversity, solid waste, wastewater, remote sensing, trace gases, air pollution stress on crops, and climate change mitigation were the main subjects in which I had always excelled right from my bachelor's to the doctoral degree.
During the course of my education, I took up several projects with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Paper Limited (TNPL). As working with project groups and scientific experts in the ISRO team, I have good knowledge of scientific report writing, collaborative work, and communication skills. This association helped a lot in consolidating my understanding of environmental and developmental skills, especially valuable skills to manage, lead and collab

  • Elevated Carbon Dioxide - A Hidden Ally Against Elevated Ozone Stress for Plant and Soil Ecosystem: A Review
    Naman Sharma, Periyasami Dhevagi, Sengottiyan Priyatharshini, Boomiraj Kovilpillai, Ambikapathi Ramya, Ramesh Poornima, Subburamu Kartikeyan, Chandrakumar K, Prabu Kumar G, Evgenios Agathokleous
    Ozone Science and Engineering, 2026
    Rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) are reshaping agroecosystem functioning with profound implications for global food security. Elevated CO2 (eCO2) stimulates crop productivity by enhancing photosynthesis and carbohydrate supply, while elevated O3 (eO3) suppresses growth through reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, stomatal impairment, and premature senescence. To gain a holistic understanding of this phenomenon, this review aims to synthesize current knowledge on eCO2-eO3 interactions on plant ecosystem. This review emphasizes two principal perspectives: a) aboveground responses include modulation of physiological performance, biochemical regulation, and yield determinants and b) belowground processes include changes in root morphology, rhizosphere microbial communities, nutrient cycling, and organic matter turnover. Moreover, spatial and temporal heterogeneity further shapes these interactions, requiring integrative eCO2-eO3 interactions analyses under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) to anticipate long‑term agricultural outcomes. Collectively, the review highlights the urgency for coordinated, multi‑site, and long‑term studies to resolve uncertainties about eCO2-eO3 interactions and their implications for crop productivity, nutritional quality, and resilience. Advancing this understanding is critical for developing adaptive management strategies that safeguard food security across diverse agroecosystems under changing climate scenarios.

    Addressing Environmental Challenges with AI Robotics and Augmented Reality, 2025
    Robotics in agriculture revolutionizes conventional farming and improvises its efficiency, precision, and sustainability. This chapter explores advancements in UAV-based pesticide and herbicide applications, automated pest and weed control, planting to harvesting tactics emphasizing efficacy, spray deposition, and environmental impact compared to traditional methods. On the other hand, smart waste management strategies, including sensor-based monitoring and AI-driven analytics, facilitate the efficient recycling of agricultural waste and prevent environmental degradation. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including regulatory constraints, high initial costs, and the need for field-specific calibration of robotics for optimized performance. Overall, UAV technology and robotics, coupled with AI and precision agriculture, present a transformative solution for modern agriculture, balancing productivity with environmental stewardship.
  • Physico-chemical properties of spray dried anthocyanin extract from hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus rosasinensis L.) as food colourant
    A Ramya, S P Thamaraiselvi, S Karthikeyan, M Ganga, S P Mirunalini, M Visalakshi
    Plant Science Today, 2025
    Flowers are a rich source of bio-pigments like carotenoids, anthocyanins and betalains. Among these, anthocyanins are the most abundant pigments and Hibiscus flowers are one source of anthocyanin pigments. The major drawback in using hibiscus anthocyanins as a food colourant is their stability. Hence, to enhance stability, microencapsulation of aqueous extract of hibiscus petals was attempted with maltodextrin encapsulation at different TSS levels and temperatures and the physico-chemical and functional properties of spray dried hibiscus powder were assessed. Microencapsulation of anthocyanin extract with maltodextrin at 15° brix and 180 °C resulted in the highest dried powder recovery (17.85%), anthocyanin content (64.81 c3g eq.mg/L) and water solubility (99.58%). Physical properties like bulk density (0.593 g/m3) and tapped density (0.695 g/m3), was significantly higher in spray dried hibiscus powder obtained with maltodextrin 20 °brix at 170 °C. Based on Hausner’s ratio (1.16), Carr index (14.04) and hygroscopicity (17.85%), hibiscus spray dried powder exhibited good flowability when dried with maltodextrin 15 °brix at 180 °C. Chromometer values of spray dried encapsulation with maltodextrin 15 °brix at 180 °C proved a deep red shade with more darkness (L*38.5) and (a* 23.50 and b* -0.67) when compared to other treatments. The spray dried powder also exhibited significant colour stability when used as food colourant in aonla juice, lemon juice, curd and butter cream. This study explored the potential of spray-dried anthocyanin extract from hibiscus flowers as a bio-colourant in the food industry.

  • Unveiling the effect of microplastics on agricultural crops–a review
    Periyasamy Dhevagi, Raveendra Gnana Keerthi Sahasa, Ramesh Poornima, Ambikapathi Ramya
    International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2024
    Microplastics (MPs), ever since they were identified as a potential and widely distributed persistent contaminant, the number of studies highlighting their impacts on various terrestrial ecosystems have been increasing. Recently, the effect of MPs on the agricultural ecosystem has gained momentum. Hence, the present review examines the impact of microplastics on agricultural crop systems and the mechanism underlying its toxicity. The current review revealed that most of the studies were conducted at a laboratory scale and under controlled conditions. Additionally, it was observed that polystyrene (PS) followed by polyethylene (PE) are the most studied polymer type, while the most studied plants are wheat and maize. Hitherto, literature studies suggest that the microplastics' influence on plant growth can be negative or sometimes neutral; while in some cases it exerts a hormetic effect which depends on other factors determining plant growth. Notably, the main mechanisms through which microplastics influence plant growth are mechanical damage, alteration of soil properties, or by leaching of additives. Overall, with burgeoning research interest in this aspect, the current review has significant implications for the toxicity of MPs on plants and throws light on the need to develop novel guidelines toward the sustainable use of plastics in agricultural sector. However, realistic field-level studies and estimating the MPs concentration at various region are essential to develop remediation approaches. Future studies should also focus on translocation and accumulation of micron sized MPs in edible portion of crops and their effect on food safety.
  • The crux of microplastics in soil - a review
    Periyasamy Dhevagi, Ramesh Poornima, Raveendra Gnana Keerthi Sahasa, Ambikapathi Ramya, Sangilidurai Karthika, Karuppusamy Sivasubramanian
    International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2024
    The prevalence of microplastics in soil has recently attracted substantial interest as they pose a major threat to the agricultural ecosystem. Microplastics (MPs), though widely found in marine habitats and explored in detail, their presence in agricultural soil remains relatively unexplored. Microplastics are entering the environment either directly through manufactured particles or those originating from the breakdown of larger macroplastics. In soil, microplastics can be transported both horizontally and vertically through the soil fauna. Hence, in order to understand the possible threats posed by microplastics in soil to the environment, this review aims in conducting a meta – analysis to integrate the recent studies in sources, fate and migration of microplastics into agriculture, impacts on soil health, trophic transfers to food chains and the associated adverse impact on soil biota. Results reveals that major sources of microplastics in soil includes sludge followed by wastewater and mulch film. Its effect on soil properties depends on the soil type, size, concentration and type of polymer. Though the occurrence of microplastics in soil has been reported in various countries, its presence in various other countries is still unexplored. Furthermore, several studies validates the effect of microplastics on soil biota at various trophic stages and even endanger human health by food chains. MPs exert both ecotoxicity and genotoxicity in plants. It delays germination by affecting both the vegetative and reproductive growth of plants. It also affects the ecosystem through the sorption of organic and inorganic pollutants. Nevertheless, detailed insights on the effect of microplastics on soil beneficial organisms and the trophic transfer onto humans requires further studies.
