Roles

Mohamed Musa is currently the Head of the Agricultural Engineering Department. He has been a faculty member in the Agricultural Engineering Department at the College of Agriculture, Tripoli, since 2008. Dr. Muhammad Musa works as an Associate Professor in the Agricultural Engineering Department, College of Agriculture. He has a research program in the field of environmental systems and renewable energies. In scientific research in the field of environmental systems, the focus was on the effect of irrigation levels on photosynthesis activity and the efficiency of plant use of water, the effect of lighting and irrigation treatments on plant activity and the effect of incomplete irrigation on productivity and its qualitative characteristics. In the field of renewable energies, the highest emphasis was placed on the use of solar energy in the field of pumping water from wells, and the use of solar energy in the field of irrigation through studying the productivity of a water pumping system powered by solar cells and using it in the    field of irrigation
