The information describes the research record provided for this profile and does not independently confirm an award decision.[1] [2] [3]

Abstract

This profile presents the research information supplied for Ashim Midya, a researcher affiliated with the Government of West Bengal, India, in the area of sustainable agriculture. The selected publications address rice sheath blight management, climate-resilient rice production, and aerobic rice cultivation in the context of limited water resources. The listed research record includes seven documents, 481 citations, and an h-index of 5, as supplied for this page. These topics are relevant to agricultural sustainability, crop protection, and efficient resource use. Bibliographic details and metrics should be checked against the linked research profiles and original publications.[1] [2] [3]

Keywords

Sustainable agriculture; rice production; rice sheath blight; plant disease management; climate-resilient agriculture; aerobic rice cultivation; water-resource conservation; agricultural research; crop protection.

Introduction

Sustainable agriculture seeks to maintain crop productivity while using natural resources responsibly and responding to environmental pressures. Rice production is especially affected by plant diseases, water availability, and changing climatic conditions. The publications listed for Ashim Midya address several of these concerns, including fungicide evaluation for rice sheath blight and cultivation approaches intended to support more resilient rice production. These research themes provide the context for understanding the work represented in this profile.[1] [2] [3]

Research Profile

The supplied profile identifies Ashim Midya with the Government of West Bengal in India and lists sustainable agriculture as the subject area. The provided Scopus identifier is 57518074500, and the supplied research metrics are seven documents, 481 citations, and an h-index of 5. These values are reproduced as provided and may change over time.[1] [2] [3]

Research Contributions

The selected works represent three connected areas of agricultural research. One examines the in vitro and field evaluation of fungicides against rice sheath blight in eastern Gangetic Plain conditions. Another considers modern technologies for sustainable rice production within climate-resilient agriculture. A third reviews aerobic rice culture as a possible approach to rice production where water resources are increasingly constrained. Together, these topics relate to crop health, agricultural adaptation, and resource-efficient cultivation.[1] [2] [3]

Publications

The three publication titles below were supplied for this profile and are included with their DOI links for reference. The list is intended to identify the research topics associated with the profile, not to represent a complete bibliography. Author order, publication dates, journal details, volume information, and page numbers should be confirmed using the DOI landing pages or the original published records before formal citation.[1] [2] [3]

Research Impact

The research topics represented in the listed publications are relevant to practical challenges in rice cultivation. Work on sheath blight management addresses crop protection, while climate-resilient production and aerobic rice culture concern agricultural responses to environmental variability and water limitations. The supplied citation count and h-index offer quantitative indicators of the listed research record, but they do not by themselves establish practical outcomes or the full significance of an individual contribution. Interpretation should consider the original publications and their context.[1] [2] [3]

Award Suitability

A Lifetime Achievement Award commonly recognizes sustained contributions and influence within a professional or research field. The sustainable-agriculture themes and publication record presented here may provide relevant material for evaluating a nomination associated with the Agri Scientist Awards. A fair assessment would require verified career history, evidence of long-term contributions, the significance of published work, and the award organizer’s official eligibility and selection criteria. This profile does not claim that the award has been granted to the researcher.[1] [2] [3]

Conclusion

Ashim Midya’s supplied profile and selected publications cover important sustainable-agriculture topics, including rice disease management, climate-resilient production, and water-conscious cultivation methods. These themes connect agricultural research with crop productivity and environmental resource management. The listed identifiers, publication links, and metrics provide starting points for further verification. For an accurate academic or award-related presentation, the original bibliographic records and the official award information should be consulted before publication.[1] [2] [3]

Keywords

Khadija Mehrez; Jazan University; Saudi Arabia; sustainable agriculture; agricultural research; innovative research; scholarly impact; citation analysis; research productivity; Agri Scientist Awards.

Introduction

Sustainable agriculture encompasses research concerned with productive, resource-efficient, environmentally responsible, and socially relevant agricultural systems. The field draws upon interdisciplinary approaches addressing food production, resource management, environmental pressures, resilience, and long-term agricultural sustainability. Research recognition in this area generally benefits from evidence demonstrating scholarly contribution, methodological rigor, relevance, and potential application.[1]

Research Profile

Khadija Mehrez is associated with Jazan University in Saudi Arabia and is identified in the supplied profile as working within sustainable agriculture. Her Scopus author identifier is 60413161400. The recorded profile contains 11 documents, 90 citations, and an h-index of 4, indicating an established indexed research presence in her stated subject area. [1]

Research Contributions

The documented contribution profile is centered on sustainable agriculture, a research domain concerned with balancing agricultural productivity, resource conservation, environmental stewardship, and long-term resilience. Mehrez’s indexed output contributes to the scholarly record associated with this field. Specific contributions should be evaluated from individual publications, methods, findings, collaborations, and demonstrated applications rather than bibliometric indicators alone.

Publications

The supplied bibliometric record reports 11 indexed documents for Khadija Mehrez. This figure indicates a body of scholarly output recorded within the stated Scopus profile, while the available information does not provide sufficient publication-level details to characterize individual titles, journals, methodologies, or findings. For formal award assessment, the complete publication list and associated bibliographic records should therefore be reviewed directly. [1]

Research Impact

The profile records 90 citations and an h-index of 4, providing quantitative evidence of scholarly visibility. Citation indicators can assist in contextualizing research influence, but they vary across disciplines, publication ages, collaboration patterns, and indexing practices. Consequently, the recorded metrics are best considered alongside originality, research quality, practical relevance, and independent evidence of influence.

Award Suitability

Khadija Mehrez appears broadly aligned with the Innovative Research Award because her documented subject area is sustainable agriculture and her profile demonstrates indexed scholarly activity. The available record supports consideration based on research productivity and citation visibility. Final eligibility or selection should depend on the award’s official criteria and independent evaluation of originality, significance, evidence, and contribution.

Conclusion

Khadija Mehrez’s academic profile at Jazan University reflects research activity associated with sustainable agriculture, supported by 11 documented documents, 90 citations, and an h-index of 4. These indicators establish a measurable scholarly footprint, while a comprehensive recognition decision should incorporate publication quality, originality, methodological contribution, collaboration, practical significance, and broader research influence. The profile therefore provides a reasonable academic basis for consideration for an Innovative Research Award, subject to the formal assessment requirements of the Agri Scientist Awards.
