Biography

Since 1996, she has been working on several issues including industrial crops growing and breeding as oil (sunflower, safflower), starch (potato), and medicinal and aromatic plants. Recently, she focused on the use of PGPR and AM fungi as biofertilizer for enhancing the yield and quality of sunflower and potato plants in organic agriculture.
