Profile
Dr. Firoz Mohammad was born at Hardoi in India. He got Ph.D. degree on ‘Mineral
Nutritional Studies on Yield and Quality of Mustard’ in 1984. He is involved in research and
teaching since 1980. He has explored nutrient and growth hormone application strategies for
better yield and quality of various crops including those of commercial as well as medicinal
importance. He is also working on their physiological and biochemical characterization,
particularly nitrate reductase and ATP-sulphurylase in respect of salt tolerance of rapeseed-
mustard genotypes. He was awarded D.Sc. degree in 2001 for his thesis on ‘Mineral Nutrition
of Common Alliums - A Physio-morphological Study’. He has published about eighty
research papers in reputed national and international journals. These includes Journal of
