- Thesis topic: Evaluation of Nanocomposite Gel-Based Slow-Release Boron Fertilizer in Alfalfa
- Plant nutrition & next-generation fertilizers
- Soilless & vertical farming
- Circular bioeconomy in agriculture
She is investigating boron deficiency and toxicity in alfalfa, and testing a gel-based slow-release boron fertilizer meant to keep boron available over a long period.
Her work compares it with conventional boron fertilizers and follows how the plants respond in both soil and soilless growing conditions.
