Her PhD was focused on grapevine physiology and salinity, and the thesis was titled “Grapevine reproductive performance: the role of amines, and the effects of salt and silicon”.
She joined NWGIC as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in 2018. Prior to that she worked as an Agronomic Consultant for more than five years in South Australia and Sunraysia/Mallee region. Her expertise is in Plant and soil nutrition, Grapevine physiology, Soil-plant interactions, Agronomy, Organic/biological farming and Sustainable agriculture.
Research Interests
Focus area: grapevine nutrition, wine quality, climate change
Tintu is currently working across multiple research projects focusing grapevine nutrition, wine pH and climate change
Current projects:
(1) Vine Nutrition: Developing a user-friendly Smartphone App for assessing vine nutritional status in the vineyard.
(2) Managing wine pH in a changing climate: Investigating the impacts of soil types, climate and vineyard management practices on the berry maturity parameters, wine acidity and sensory attributes; developing a better vineyard management strategy for warm regions to attain appropriate acid-sugar balance in the grape juice for better quality wines.
