Krishna Kumar Nanda
Krishna Kumar Nanda obtained his PhD from the University of Mumbai in 1947. He specialized in plant physiology and biochemistry. By studying the endogenous rhythms, the effect of light and temperature on reproductive development and the growth pattern of plant yield, he developed the crop-weather models for enhancing the yield. He also worked on the problems of floral bud initiation on woody plants. He received the Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Memorial Award, Birbal Sahni Medal and SM Sircar Memorial Medal. He was the President Indian Botanical Society, a Member of the Japanese Society for Plant Physiology, the Indian Society of tree Scientists and the American Association for Advancement of Science.
