Dr. Md. Enamul Kabir
Professor
Dr. Md. Enamul Kabir is a Professor of
Agrotechnology Discipline in Khulna University. Alongside teaching in different
subjects of crop science, Dr. Kabirs’ research prioritizes the research
priority of the Government of Bangladesh: “Agricultural Research Priority:
Vision- 2030 and beyond” for the food security of the country. His
current research are on sustainable and climate smart cropping; development and
test of fertilizer requirement (4Rs nutrient stewardship) for crops in excessive
wet and saline coastal soils and for emerging cropping patterns (from one crop
to double crops, conservation agriculture-based recommendation); cropping in
the marginal soils; cropping intensification particularly in smallholder farms;
alleviating salinity stress by silicon. He has been engaged with several
collaborative research projects of Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research (ACIAR) since 2007. In almost all projects women
participation and empowerment was one of the important criteria that he
maintained. He has several trainings, e.g., on climate change governance (by Wageningen
University) and sustainable intensification (by SIDA in Bangkok). He has
supervised/been supervising several PhD students of Murdoch University,
Australia (he achieved his PhD from the same university). Dr. Kabir has
developed some crop establishment techniques in excess soil water and
waterlogging condition. He has published 25 Journal articles, one book chapter and and a manual.
In future, Dr Kabirs’ interests are continuation of
investigating climate resilient techniques for crop cultivation, sustainable
intensification/land use for food security in the face of current and future
climate change; efficient involvement of underutilized women efficiency in crop
sector, develop silicon foliar spray to alleviate salinity stress on plant, to
develop slow release-biocomposite fertilizers from the agricultural wastes; to
establish research linkages with the policy; to participate knowledge sharing
platforms.
