Climate Change and Mango Production

Syed Atif Hasan Naqvi currently serves as a lecturer in Plant Pathology at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. With 14 years of extensive research experience and 7 years in academia, Dr. Naqvi is a recognized mango pathology and cultivation authority. His career began at the Mango Research Station Multan, followed by a pivotal role at the Mango Research Institute Multan, where he contributed significantly to advancing mango research and extension services. As a dedicated mango consultant, Dr. Naqvi has explored nearly every facet of mango pathology and agronomic practices, developing sustainable strategies for managing diseases and enhancing productivity. His work as an extension plant pathologist has been instrumental in providing voluntary guidance to mango farmers, helping them address critical challenges through innovative solutions. Since joining Bahauddin Zakariya University in 2017, Dr. Naqvi has spearheaded three research projects on mango cultivation.Prof. Dr. Shakeel Ahmad is a professor of Agronomy at the Institute of Agronomy (IOA), Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. In 2006, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Later, he completed his postdoctoral research from the University of Georgia, USA. He joined as a lecturer in the Department of Agronomy, Bahauddin Zakariya University, in October 2002. He was promoted to Professor in 2016. He has been devoting himself in teaching and researching the field of arable crops, especially focused on crop modeling, climate change impact assessment, and adaptation strategies. He has published over 200 articles and 150 book chapters. His publications received over 7500 citations with an h-index of 50 (according to Scopus). He is an editor and reviewer of many peer-reviewed international journals. He is also an active and life member of professional societies like Pakistan Society of Agronomy and Pakistan Botanical Society.  Mukhtar Ahmed has been involved in teaching and research since 2005. His research focuses on the impact of climate change on crop ecology, crop physiology, cropping system, and rain-fed ecosystem management. During his Ph.D. and visit to Sydney University, Australia, he worked on the application of APSIM as a decision support tool and rainfall forecasting using generalized additive models. He was awarded a young scientist fellowship by APCC South Korea. He also won a research productivity award from Pakistan Council of Science and Technology (PCST) and a Publons reviewer award in 2018 and 2019.  He was part of the Regional Approaches for Climate Change (REACCH) project in the USA, which developed multi-model ensemble approaches to minimize the uncertainties. He is involved in the use of statistical and dynamic models as risk management tools to mitigate the challenges of climate change.
