Short Introduction

I have a comprehensive understanding of the various disciplines within agriculture, including horticulture, crop science, soil management, agricultural economics, and sustainable farming practices. I have gained valuable practical experience through thesis works and research projects, where I have actively engaged in data collection, analysis, and interpretation. My thesis was focused on the effect of planting materials and sources of nutrients on the growth, yield, and quality of banana. I have published one paper in ‘Horticulturae’ journal. I was an Awardee of the prestigious National Science and Technology Fellowship, 2020. I possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, which enable me to establish rapport with students, colleagues, and industry professionals. I strongly believe in fostering a dynamic learning environment thatencourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
