@effiangjaspereffiang
Agronomist and crop production specialist driving sustainable greenhouse and field production.
What I'm looking for
I am an agronomist with a BSc and MSc in Crop Production Technology focused on crop production, greenhouse management and bio-control. I combine hands-on farm leadership with technical skills in data collection, record keeping and reporting.
I have led production teams, designed production calendars, trained students at greenhouse academies, and managed organic and specialty crop projects across multiple sites. My MSc research explored drought stress memory induction in wheat through osmopriming and Bacillus megaterium RR13 inoculation.
I bring practical experience in greenhouse coordination, irrigation installation, pest and disease monitoring, substrate preparation for mushroom production, and farm financial/operational management, and I enjoy mentoring students and coordinating multi-disciplinary teams to meet project objectives.
