    15+ years plant breeder at Lal Teer Seed Ltd., specializing in hybrid and climate-adaptive vegetable breeding, including the first hybrid gynoecious cucumber in Bangladesh. Proven success in increasing yield, disease resistance, and marketability, with expertise in CMS and molecular breeding

    • Hybrid/HYV Variety Development: Led successful development of hybrid/HYV varieties in papaya, cucumber, eggplant, ridge gourd, amaranth, and country bean, significantly increasing crop yields and farmer income.
    • Gynoecious Cucumber Breeding: Pioneered and successfully implemented gynoecious breeding in cucumber, a first in Bangladesh, boosting fruit production and marketability.
    • Papaya Breeding: Spearheaded the introduction of red fleshed
    • Pioneered the development of the first-ever hybrid gynoecious cucumber in Bangladesh, launched in 2025, promising significant yield increase.
    • Developed the first-ever hybrid red-fleshed papaya variety in Bangladesh suitable for our climatic conditions.
    • Developed a photo-insensitive ridge gourd hybrid variety, enabling year-round cultivation and boosting production by 25%.
    • Spearheaded the creation of diverse heat-tolerant eggplants, including two hybrids and an open-pollinated variety, catering to wider market needs.
    • Collaboratively developed two commercially successful Bitter Gourd varieties and one high-yielding Pumpkin variety, significantly impacting local supply chains.
    • Developed the first short-day type onion hybrid to Bangladesh through collaborative efforts, revolutionizing adaptability and yield within the region.
