| Work Experience | Over 25 years’ designing and managing field trials in grasslands and cereals, in UK and overseas, including on-farm and farmer-participatory experimentation in crop improvement and agronomy. Devising and validating new techniques for variety testing in highly heterogeneous saline soils. Fifteen years’ experience of salinity in irrigated areas of India and Pakistan, and in-depth knowledge of “Saline agriculture” and biological reclamation. Detailed knowledge of the agricultural sector in universities, provincial and federal government in Pakistan. Three years’ experience in seed production techniques for forage legumes, and ten years in grassland research in both lowland and upland regions of the UK and overseas.
