Research:

My overall objective is to study the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on physiology, growth and productivity of fruit crops with emphasis on heat, drought and salinity effects. Current specific research interest is in utilizing plant responses to water stress to schedule irrigation of fruit trees:

Other Research Areas of Interest:

• Identification & germplasm collection of local Omani fruit crop clones

• Witches' Broom Disease of Lime (WBDL)

• Phenological cycles of date palm and mango trees in Northern Oman
