Md. Abdul Kader Duel
Lecturer
This is Md. Abdul Kader Duel, Lecturer (Entomology), Department of Agriculture, Teesta University, Rangpur, Bangladesh. I am passionate about understanding insect ecology and advancing sustainable pest management to support climate-resilient agriculture. My research focuses on plant–insect interactions, sustainable and climate-smart pest management, stored-product pests, and the development of integrated pest control strategies. Along with research, I enjoy teaching courses related to entomology, including insect ecology, integrated pest management, crop protection, and applied entomology.
