Sarwar is a PhD student in the field of soil and water sciences. After graduating from the College of Agriculture, Soil and Water Sciences Department in 2006-2007, Sarwar pursued a Master’s degree, completing it in 2011. Since then, he has been involved in teaching and research, with a particular focus on soil fertility, plant nutrition, soil chemistry, soil and water pollution, and soil, water, and plant relationships. Over the years, Sarwar has taught a variety of undergraduate courses, including Soil Fertility, Plant Nutrition, Soil Chemistry, Soil Mineralogy, Soil, Water, and Plant Relationships, Principles of Soil Science, Experimental Design and Analysis, and Statistics. Currently, Sarwar continues to teach Principles of Soil Science, Soil Fertility, Plant Nutrition, Experimental Design and Analysis, and Statistics at the undergraduate level. Sarwar is currently pursuing doctoral studies to further explore soil fertility, water quality, and environmental sustainability in agricultural systems.

My research interests lie in the areas of soil fertility, plant nutrition, and soil chemistry, with a particular focus on understanding the interactions between soil properties and plant growth. I am also deeply interested in the impact of soil and water pollution on both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. Additionally, I am focused on studying water quality and its influence on soil health, aiming to develop solutions that can mitigate pollution and improve soil and water management practices for better agricultural outcomes.
