About
Dr. Mohamed Zalama

As an associate professor at the Field Crops Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, I have dedicated my career to the study and advancement of agriculture, with a particular focus on field crops. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in various aspects of agriculture, including crop production, climate and environmental changes, seed science technology, and global grain system development. In the realm of agriculture, I have worked closely with farmers and agricultural professionals to optimize crop production methods. I have researched crop breeding, agronomy, and pest management techniques, aiming to enhance the yield, quality, and sustainability of field crops. Through field trials and experiments, I have contributed to the development of best practices that improve crop performance and resilience in the face of climate variability. Climate and environmental changes have been a major area of interest for me. I have studied the impact of climate change on field crops, particularly shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and the occurrence of extreme weather events. By understanding these dynamics, I strive to develop strategies that enable farmers to adapt to changing climatic conditions and mitigate the environmental impact of agriculture. In terms of seed science technology, I have been involved in research and development efforts aimed at improving seed quality, germination rates, disease resistance, and overall crops.
