Mst. Habiba Tamanna

Researcher at University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi

I completed my MS degree in Plant Pathology in 2019, where my research focused on the post-harvest management of anthracnose and stem-end rot of mango through non-chemical method using Plasma-Activated Water (PAW) technology, emphasizing eco-friendly disease control and post-harvest quality improvement. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Plant Pathology focusing on the isolation and evaluation of root endophytes for their biocontrol potential against fusarium wilt of cucumber. My research interests include plant–microbe interactions, post-harvest pathology, biological control, and the development of sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides for environmentally friendly crop protection.
