[4] Nahar first proposed to cultivate a non-food bioenergy crop, Jatropha curcas L. in Bangladesh, as it did not need arable land and does not compete with food.
Her work focused on the increasing water deficit conditions due to global climate change and its relationship to fruit yield, particularly in combating world hunger.
Her publications also center around bioenergy and food production in both the cyclical water deficit lands and the highly flooded plains of Bangladesh.
Twenty soil samples belonging to four pedons from Bhola District were analysed for their profile morphology, particle-size distribution, and mineral composition in the clay fraction.
[9] Since then, Nahar's research has focused on increasing water deficit conditions due to global climate change and its relationship to fruit yield, particularly in combating world hunger.
Her publications also center around bioenergy and food production in both the cyclical water deficit lands and the highly flooded plains of Bangladesh.
Significant increases in glucose, fructose, sucrose in fruits and proline content in leaves showed some tendency of this crop to adjust osmotically to water stress.
[10] This study investigates the effects of water stress on moisture content distribution at different soil layers (pot) and on the morphological characters of tomato plants.
The plants had a tendency to adjust against a drop in potential in the soil by producing organic solutes such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and proline.
With rapidly growing urban and national population growth rate, Bangladesh's growing demand for energy with urban expansion has led to deforestation and a steady loss of arable lands, which may result in future food shortages, where she proposes a simple required land use per capita model [note 1] for establishing a relationship between the biomass production,[note 2] associated crop yields, the biomass to biofuel conversion methods and the overall fuel demand, as a plan to meet the national energy and habitable land demands while considering the looming environmental effects related to energy usage.
