Profile Summary

I am a desert agronomist with focus on introduction, adaptability and yield improvement of climate resilient field crops under water deficit conditions. Developing an integrated model for sustainable desert agriculture through improving crop, water and soil use efficiency. Combining approaches for anti-desertification, saline agriculture and soil conservation. I am also working on the water productivity enhancement of summer and winter field crops under drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. It includes screening and evaluation of cereal crops, pulses, oilseed crops, fodders, fruit trees, perennial forages, medicinal plants and introduction of high value new crops such as lupin, faba bean and proso millat for desert farming. Projects 1.Agronomic Interventions and Postharvest Value Addition to Promote Millets for Crop Diversification, Nutritional Security and Climate Smart Agriculture PARB 22-488 for 2023-28 2.Introduced Lupin crop in South Punjab for livestock feed and forage purposes 3.Awarded HEC-NRPU 15645 project; “Developing an integrated model for sustainable desert agriculture” 2022-25 4.Awarded ALP-PARC CS-905 Project; “Introduction, adaptability and intercropping of white Lupine (Lupinus albus) as winter legume forage in arid areas of Cholistan” 2021-24 5.Awarded HEC-NRPU 17118 project; “Value addition and standardization of Moringa olifera for export” 2023-25. 6.Awarded NRPU-HEC 11786 project; “Sustainable production and nutritional profiling of cultivate able medicinal plant of Southern Punjab region Pakistan” 2022-25 7.Award HEC-SRGP 1244 project; “Studying wheat Rht genotypes agronomic response to plant growth regulators under drought and heat stress” 2016-18
