He has maintained his research program in this line throughout his career. The excellent scientific discoveries and contributions that he has made have been recognized by his peers and demonstrated through his election as fellow of both the Weed Science Society of America and the American Phytopathological Society. The basic knowledge that he has contributed to our understanding of the fundamental biology of weed/pathogen interactions and his contributions in the areas of mycology, etiology, and natural products will have lasting impact. As important as the basic and applied research that he has conducted is his role as a mentor and colleague. Dr. Charudattan has contributed to the scientific development of more than 60 students, post-docs, and scientists from more than 20 countries and contributed to the establishment of biological control of weeds with pathogens as a permanent and highly productive area of weed control research. |
