Biography

My name is Isaac Gura and I completed Master of Science in Agriculture (Soil Science) at the University of Fort Hare, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Recently, I completed a PhD program at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. My PhD research was focusing on the assessment and management of soil fertility properties in irrigated agriculture using modern site-specific management technology.
I hold a strong propensity to continue research in agriculture focusing mainly on soil carbon and soil health.
