Department:  Faculty of Agriculture, Institute of Soil & Environmental Sciences

Position:  Assistant Professor

HEC Approved Supervisor:  NO

Research Intersts:  My area of interest is mineral nutrition of plants especially focusing on increasing Zinc content in crop plants to combat micronutrient malnutrition in human beings. Moreover, I am also interested in the identification of mechanisms responsible for differential nutrient use efficiencies in crop plants. Besides this I also work on the role of mineral nutrients in alleviating drought stress in plants.
