Biography
Professor Amadou Hamadoun Babana, with an MSc and PhD in agricultural microbiology from Laval University, has his expertise in soil-plant-microorganisms interactions in improving plant production and protection. His research activities are based on the optimization of microbial communities of soils and plants to formulate biofertiliser and biopesticides to support global food production. He has built this technology after years of experience in research on the exploitation soil and plant microbial genetic diversity to improve plant mineral use efficiencies and plant protection against pathogens and diseases. His research is based on the methodology to access microbiomes and make diverse microbial communities support resilience productivity. This approach shoved a great potential for crop improvement and enhanced yield.
