Agricultural Sciences
Having experience in agronomic management, nutrient management, pest management, farming systems research and development including participatory diagnosis, designing or planning and implementation of integrated farming modules. Now my routine works are planning and execution of different research program in relation to agronomic management, crop production, farming systems, conservation agriculture, climate change adaptation and mitigation, agroforestry system, salinity management, water management, income generation and improvement of livelihood for the farmers and so on. My researches are mainly developed based on needs and problems of farmers in real condition. I do research in a collaborative project entitled “Agro-meteorological information systems development project” funded by World Bank. I am the Principal Researcher of the project “Adaptation and scaling up Agroforestry for livelihood improvement of farmers in agricultural ecosystem of Bangladesh” funded by PIU-BARC (NATP Phase-2). I am the Co-Principal Investigator of ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) and KGF (Krishi Gobeshona Foundation) funded project '' Nutrient Management for Diversified Cropping in Bangladesh” and doing research to test and develop the tools for sustainable nutrient management for intensively cropped areas of north-west Bangladesh based on conservation agriculture and also for the emerging cropping systems for coastal zone soils of southern Bangladesh.
