Megh R. Goyal, PhD, PE, is a prolific author and editor. He is a retired professor from the College of Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico. A former soil conservation inspector, Dr. Goyal was proclaimed as the “Father of Irrigation Engineering in Puerto Rico for the twentieth century” by the ASABE, Puerto Rico Section, for his pioneering work on micro irrigation, evapotranspiration, agroclimatology, and soil and water engineering. Junaid Ahmad Malik, PhD, is a Lecturer with the Department of Zoology at Government Degree College, Bijbehara, Kashmir (J&K), India. He has more than eight years of research experience in ecology, soil macrofauna, wildlife biology, conservation biology, etc. Dr. Malik has published more than 20 research articles and technical papers in international peer-reviewed journals and has authored and edited books, book chapters, and more than 10 popular editorial articles. He has participated in several international conferences, seminars, workshops, and symposia. He is a life member of the Society for Bioinformatics and Biological Sciences. Ravi Pandiselvam, PhD, is a scientist in the Physiology, Biochemistry and Post-Harvest Technology Division at the ICAR-Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod, India, where he contributes to developing value-added food products (viz., Kalpa Krunch and coconutbased frozen delicacies); to the design and development of the tender coconut trimming machine, coconut testa removing machine, and tender coconut cutting machine; and to designing preservation protocols for trimmed tender coconut for commercialized sales. He has authored or co-authored more than 60 journal articles, several books, and 30 book chapters and serves on the editorial boards for many prominent science journals.
