Prof Ndiko Ludidi
Rated Researcher
Prof Ludidi’s research is on plant-environment interactions, with a focus on abiotic stress in plants and beneficial plant-microbe interactions together with regenerative agriculture. He investigates the physiological and molecular mechanisms regulating drought, heat and salinity responses in plants. Furthermore, his research expands to the influence of rhizospheric microbes on crop performance, the effects of cropping systems on soil health, and the interaction between plants and insects. He merges these diverse fields of study towards establishment of climate-smart regenerative agriculture systems to produce climate change resilient crops and crop production systems that promote environmental sustainability to ensure food security.
