I am a dedicated and knowledgeable professional with a Master's degree in Soil Science and three years of hands-on research experience in Pakistan Oilseed Department, Islamabad and Agriculture Research KP . My academic background has equipped me with a deep understanding of soil properties, nutrient management, and sustainable agricultural practices. During my research tenure, I have worked extensively on analyzing soil samples, assessing chemical compositions, and developing strategies to enhance soil fertility. My passion for agriculture and commitment to advancing soil health drive me to continually seek innovative solutions for the challenges faced by modern farming practices.

Sincerely,

During last year working on the project titled "Promotion of Olive Cultivation on Commercial Scale in Pakistan," I focused extensively on orchard management and propagation techniques. My primary responsibilities involved overseeing the establishment and maintenance of olive orchards, ensuring optimal growth conditions through precise irrigation, pruning, and pest management practices. I collaborated with agricultural experts to develop tailored guidelines for local farmers, enhancing their understanding of soil preparation, fertilization, and disease control. Additionally, I spearheaded propagation initiatives, utilizing both traditional and modern methods such as grafting and Air-layering to produce high-quality olive plants. This hands-on experience not only broadened my expertise in sustainable agricultural practices but also contributed significantly to the project's goal of boosting olive production and supporting economic growth in Pakistan's agricultural sector.

During 2021-2023, as part of research project “Surveillance on Pesticides and Fertilizers Adulteration in KP”, i gained hands on experience using modern technologies i.e., ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma), AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer), Spectrophotometer, Flame photometer, Kjeldhal, pH and EC meter for determination of essential nutrients and various physio-chemical properties of soil and plant according to ISO certified protocols. Such experience provided me a solid foundation to work as a team member as well as independent researcher in advance research labs.

I have recently completed my MSc (Hons) in Soil and Environmental Sciences with a research focus on "In-situ stabilization of heavy metals in okra through various organic amendments irrigated with waste water".
