Dr.  Fariya Abubakari  l Agriculture
| Young Scientist Award

Murdoch University | Australia

Dr. Fariya Abubakari, the research focuses on soil fertility, nutrient dynamics, and sustainable agricultural productivity, particularly examining potassium behavior in sandy soils of Southwest Western Australia. Through glasshouse, laboratory, and field experiments, the studies investigate potassium supplying capacity, release kinetics, and leaching behavior under varying soil conditions and management practices. The work evaluates the impact of soil pH, plant presence, and soil texture on potassium losses and employs predictive modeling using Hydrus 1D to simulate potassium leaching patterns. This research provides valuable insights into nutrient availability, soil-plant interactions, and the development of management strategies to enhance nutrient retention and crop yield sustainability in sandy agricultural systems. Additional investigations explore the effects of soil chemical and physical properties on copper distribution and sorption, nitrogen fixation in legume-based systems, and the impact of fertilizer subsidies on productivity in African agricultural zones. The findings contribute to understanding nutrient cycling, soil amendment techniques, and efficient fertilizer use in both tropical and temperate environments. By integrating experimental data with modeling approaches, the research supports evidence-based recommendations for mitigating nutrient leaching, improving soil health, and promoting sustainable resource management in diverse agroecosystems.

Dr. Pavlo Lykhovyd | Agriculture | Young Scientist Award

Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine | Ukraine

Dr. Pavlo Lykhovyd is a distinguished agricultural scientist and leading researcher at the Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. With a Doctorate in Agricultural Sciences, he specializes in land reclamation, irrigated and precision agriculture, agroecology, GIS/remote sensing, and AI/ML applications in agriculture. Over the course of his career, he has published more than 400 articles, including over 50 in WoS/Scopus-indexed journals, and contributed to highly cited works in the field. As head of the Council of Young Scientists, Pavlo has led numerous innovative projects on crop production, adaptive technologies, and digital agriculture, including GIS-based remote sensing applications and predictive modeling for irrigation and yield optimization. His work integrates scientific research with practical applications, providing consultancy to private farms and collaborating internationally on crop adaptation studies. Pavlo has authored books on neural networks in agriculture and crop production on reclaimed lands, and holds multiple patents and copyrights for agricultural software, including the Ukraine Crop Production Map and AI-driven irrigation tools. His contributions have advanced agricultural digitalization, resource-efficient irrigation, and agroecological zoning, directly enhancing productivity and sustainability in Ukraine’s steppe regions. Recognized with the President of Ukraine Prize for Young Scientists, he continues to pioneer AI and remote sensing solutions for large-scale crop monitoring, yield prediction, and climate-smart agriculture. Pavlo actively participates as a guest reviewer and editorial board member in international journals, promoting scientific rigor and innovation in modern agronomy. His research bridges traditional agricultural practices with cutting-edge technology, shaping the future of precision farming, sustainable land management, and climate-resilient agricultural systems across Ukraine and beyond.
