In1998 I was transferred from Gorgan University of Agriculture and Natural Resource

Sciences to University of Tehran (named the Mother University of Iran). Since 1998 to

present I have been lecturing Forage Crops Production and Range Management courses

at undergraduate level, Crops Ecophysiology at M.S. Level, Seed Ecology and Organic

Besides lecturing I supervised MS thesis as well as conducting several research works on

forage crops.

1991-1995

(a)Working on my research project at the University of Adelaide on different aspects of

medic pasture interrelationships with grazing animals as well as plant population

dynamics under different gazing managements (1991-1994). During this period the

following projects have been conducted by me:

1. Spring grazing management of annual medic pasture to optimize the productivity of

herbage and seed production (1991).

2. Evaluation of hardseededness breakdown of annual medic pods under different grazing

managements (1991).

3. Summer grazing management of medic pasture to optimize medic pod consumption and

ensure pasture re-establishment (1992).

4. Impact of stocking intensity and grazing period on plant morphological characteristics,

seed production, phenology and growth pattern of medic pastures (1992).

5. Impact of autumn deferred grazing on growth, botanical composition and sheep body

weight gain on medic pasture (1993).

6. Ryegrass and barelygrass population dynamics and soil physical characteristics under

5

deferred and continuous grazing management of annual medic pasture (1993).

7. Impact of defoliation intensity and sowing rate on herbage production, flowering

characteristics, and seed production of annual medic pasture (1994).

8. Impact of total forage availability and height of the pasture on intake rate of sheep

grazing on medic pasture (1994).

1977-79

Employed as Research Fellow, Department of Agronomy, Oklahoma State University

(USA), while working on MS project. My research duties were mainly in the field of

pasture and range species breeding and development.

Work conducted for MS thesis was concerned with sudangrass-legume rotation,

particularly the transfer of nitrogen from the legume to the following sudangrass in

rotation.

1976-1977

while studying at B. S level. Research was in the fields of grain legume and oil seed

crops production and plant- climate relationships (1973-76).

Awarded a scholarship from the International Student Exchange Program (FAO) to

participate in Agronomic Research programs at the Swiss Federal Research Station of

Agriculture in Zurich. Most of the research was concerned with the evaluation,

agronomy and breeding of wheat and maize varieties in the context of a cereal-pasture

rotation (1974).
