Dr. Satyapriya Singh, Scientist in the field of Entomology, has pioneered research on eco-friendly pest management strategies for agricultural crops, invasive pest biology & behavior study, toxicology, molecular biology and safeguarding stored commodities. With an impressive portfolio of 29 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, his contributions to the agricultural field are truly commendable. Uncovering the biological mechanism underlying Tribolium castaneum insects' resistance to phosphine was one of Dr. Singh's major research accomplishments. His research provided a novel understanding of altered enzyme activity, particularly within detoxification pathways, illuminating the resistance traits connected to the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) gene. Dr. Singh delved into the identification, biology, and behavior of the invasive pest species, Spodoptera fugiperda, in the North Eastern Region (NER) of India, particularly in Tripura. His pivotal role in the distribution of plant protection inputs and vegetable seeds across Tripura during the COVID-19 pandemic situation, appraised by ICAR NEH institute and various stakeholders, ensured agricultural support for needy farmers, promoting food security and livelihoods. He conducted extensive surveys, revealing a significant upsurge of the invasive rugose spiraling whitefly, Aleurodicus rugeoperculatus, among various crops in eastern India, notably in Odisha. He meticulously explored different bioformulations, incorporating botanicals and entomopathogens, to evaluate their field efficacy against key pests affecting crops such as okra, cucumber, and cowpea. Furthermore, he documented the indigenous plant protection practices employed by natives in the NER, to combat insect-related challenges. He also conducted residue analysis on okra, diligently assessing the fate of chlorantraniliprole in the fruit, soil, and leaves, along with its impact on human safety and soil arthropods including earthworms. He has associated with fifteen research projects and actively engaged in organizing many seminars, training sessions, and capacity-building initiatives. He is actively involved in imparting training and awareness to farmers of Odisha on sustainable pest management for agri-horti ecosystem. He is currently monitoring three Ph.D. and one M.Sc. scholars. He is a recipient of many awards and fellowships from diverse scientific organizations. He was conferred with a Young Agricultural Scientist award by Dr. B.V. David Foundation, Chennai. He acts as a reviewer for several international high-impact journals. He is actively involved in many scientific societies viz., SPPS, New Delhi; AZRA, Cuttack; AAPMHE, Bengaluru.  Dr. Satyapriya Singh's contributions to insect science and pest management in agricultural crops stand as a testament to his unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable field practices and safeguarding our vital food resources.
