EmailAbout Dr. Walter Bisong Binang
Dr Walter Bisong Binang obtained a
Bachelor of Agriculture degree from the University of Calabar, and a Masters
degree in Agronomy from the same University, before proceeding to the Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture where he obtained a PhD in Crop production and
Physiology in 2008. He was employed as a Graduate Assistant in the Department
of Crop Science, University of Calabar in 1995, and rose through the ranks to
Associate Professor in 2014,
Dr Binang is a member of
several professional associations including the Agricultural Society of
Nigeria, Crop Science Society of Nigeria, and Soli Science Society of Nigeria.
He has attended several local and international conferences and was a member of
the Local Organising Committee of the 36th Conference of
Agricultural Society of Nigeria (ASN) held in Calabar in 2003. He has
supervised three doctorate students and two Masters as well as several Post Graduate
Diploma students. He is a journal reviewer with SCIALERT and SCIREA publishing
stables. He has published thirty three journal articles locally and
internationally.
Dr Binang’s current research
interest is in the agronomy of neglected and underutilized native plants, as
well as the development of invasive weeds with pesticidal properties as potential
non-food cash crops.
