Major subjects of scientific activities:
Research of different varieties and accessions of bread wheat, durum wheat, triticale and barley under the irrigated and rain fed conditions of Central part of Tajikistan. Selection of best lines and utilization in breeding programs: Individual selection, bulk selection and conducting crossings for breeding new varieties with higher yield potential, early maturing and resistant to pest and diseases and lodging, as well as with higher bread-making quality.

Conducting studies on new crop management technologies of cereal crops, in various agro-ecological conditions of Tajikistan and research works on biological safety considering changing climate.
