M. Ray, M.K. Nanda, S. Chowdhury and D.K. Khan from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won Hugo de Vries Research Award-2015 in Agriculture. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'International Journal of Agriculture'. In their report on Determination of water stress of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) through canopy temperature based indices they mention that An appropriate indicator to express the crop water stress with respect to atmospheric demand and soil moisture status is difficult to define. In that respect canopy temperature might be an effective crop water stress indicator, since it is related to evapotranspirative demand of atmosphere as well as soil moisture supply to the plant. This hypothesis was tested for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) during 2005-06 and 2006-07 in sandy loam soils of lower Gangetic plain of West Bengal, India. The crop was sown in two dates of sowing with four levels of irrigation viz. one irrigation at branching, two irrigations at branching and pre-flowering, two irrigations at branching and pod formation and one control treatment with no irrigation. The canopy air temperature difference (CATD) at 12:30 hrs during the crop growing period reflected the soil moisture status with respect to irrigation treatments. The diurnal canopy temperature variation (CTV) showed wider range under stressed condition. The accumulated stress degree day (SDD) computed from canopy and air temperature was inversely related to both biomass and grain yield. However, further study to define threshold values of canopy temperature based indicators can be more applicable for irrigation management. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. M. Ray, M.K. Nanda, S. Chowdhury and D.K. Khan as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of M. Ray, M.K. Nanda, S. Chowdhury and D.K. Khan to world.
The research has brought one of the major issues on water management where the finding lies that the moisture stress had great influence on thermal environment of the crop stand and it was established in the present experiment that the moisture stress of the crop can effectively be monitored by using moisture based indices, like, canopy air temperature difference (CATD) and diurnal canopy temperature variation (DCTV). Throughout the study it was identified that the highest evapotranspiration as well as seed yield can be obtained when two irrigations are given at branching and pod formation. From critical examination of canopy temperature variation during the day hours it appears that the midday canopy temperature (at 12:00 hours local time) best represents the crop water stress. The crop water stress also best manifested by canopy air temperature difference (CATD) at pre-flowering stage. Towards maturity the range of CATD gradually became narrow. Soil moisture content and CATD value are inversely proportional. The relationship of grain yield decreased with increasing stress degree day The influence of SDD was more on biomass production rather than on grain yield. However, further scope to scientific community comes with respect to micro- environmental analysis that includes both the assessment and accounting of soil-water-plant continuum that controls the thermal environment of the canopy microclimate.
