Major Acheivements :
1. from my point of view perhaps the most outstanding acheivement I accomplished was the large number of joniour staff whome I trained during my years of work.
These poeple were given training on detecting agricultureal problems from farming areas , planning and excuting applied fields research to solve these problems , collecting and processing field data and preparing technical reports . As a result , some of them went for higher degree after gaining confidence in themselves to pursure applied field work.
2. my first research project in Iraq (1962) was to obtain sorgham variety with resistance to covered kernel smut, which causes serve losses to farmers in southern Iraq , For the Project , I requested and Optained seed samples on 150 varietiesvand strains nfested them with spores of the diseases and planted them , the result of tis experement were published In the Plan diseases Reporter (USA) in 1967 (paper NO.4)
3. when I arrived Saudi Arabia as an agronomist I niticed that farmers import thousands of tons of wheat seeds every day , importing seedds at such a large scale has disastorous effect in most cases , . I Discussed this Problem with the producing certified wheat seeds locally .
This Study Was Approved , and 115 million Saudi Riyals where allocated for such a project (un-official figure) The Saudi seed company become functional before I left Saudi Arabia |
