Dr. Amir Khan

About

Dr. Amir working as an Assistant Professor in S.S.L.D. Varshney Institute of Management & Engineering (Approval done by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Agra), Aligarh. He has completed his Doctorate in Botany from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh (India). He has received Prof. M. Mashkoor Alam Memorial Gold Medal in M.Sc. (2014). He has also completed one-month training program on Molecular Technique (Isolation of DNA from plants and microorganisms, Isolation and culture of fungi and bacteria, Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, RAPD, PCR, Southern Blotting, Southern Hybridization, Isolation of protein etc.) at IBRC Agra. His current research efforts to identify new bio-pesticides from plants and biocontrol agents to manage root-knot nematodes. His research work also engaged to manage the parasitic action of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. using botanicals and biocontrol-based bio-pesticides. Besides thrust area, Dr. Amir and his group also promote organic farming by utilizing organic matter (plant parts, oil cakes, agricultural waste, bio-synthesized nanoparticles etc.), bio-fertilizer and biocontrol agents for the sustainable management of root-knot nematodes as well as enrich the soil with nutrients necessary for plant growth and development. As a young researcher, he is very dedicated to the research area and very interested to make a career in the research/teaching field.
