  • \n
    Oilseed and Field Crop Agronomy<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    Special focus on soybean, sesame, buckwheat, maize, wheat, and pulses under diverse agro-ecological conditions.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Germplasm Evaluation and Breeding Support<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    Screening and identification of stress-tolerant genotypes using agronomic, physiological, and biochemical markers.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Soil and Nutrient Management<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    Development of sustainable management practices involving biochar, nano-fertilizers, micronutrients, and organic amendments<\/strong> to improve crop productivity.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Sustainable and Climate-Smart Agriculture<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    Application of innovative technologies such as nanotechnology, biostimulants (seaweed extract), and biochar<\/strong> for stress mitigation and resource-use efficiency.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Crop Production under Stress Environments<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    Enhancing productivity of crops in coastal, drought-prone, and flood-affected areas of Bangladesh.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Overall, his specialization integrates plant physiology, agronomy, and environmental stress management<\/strong> to develop sustainable solutions for improving agricultural productivity and farmers\u2019 livelihoods.<\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
