This is Md. Morshedul Islam, Lecturer (Plant Pathology), Department of Agriculture, Teesta University, Rangpur, Bangladesh. I am passionate about understanding plant diseases and developing sustainable management strategies to ensure the health of crops. My research focuses on the molecular characterization and biological management of plant pathogens, plant-microbe interactions, and the development of integrated disease management strategies. Along with research, I enjoy teaching courses related to plant pathology, including plant disease diagnosis and management, epidemiology, seed pathology, and host plant resistance.
