10.RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research experience in agronomy and allelopathy spans more than ten years. My publications in
these fields are considered as key papers and are widely cited. These publications include numerous
highly cited papers on adaptation of crops to water limited environments, and non-chemical weed
management through allelopathy. My research, on crop water relations and adaptation to dryland
environments, has encompassed providing a fundamental understanding of the response of crops to
water deficits, temperatures and nutrient deficiencies. I have conducted research on adaptation of crops

to water shortage and the phenological, morphological, physiological, biochemical and genetic traits
that enable crops to cope with water stress. I have also optimized and developed several seed
enhancement techniques for improving crop performance under less than optimum field conditions, and
for delivery of micronutrients. In allelopathy, I have also developed non-chemical strategies for weed
management in field crops.
