Alhousseynou SARR is a third-year PhD student in Plant Production and Protection at Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), Dakar, Senegal. His research investigates bacteria associated with mango (Mangifera indica L.) diseases in two Senegalese agroecological zones and evaluates biological control strategies using essential oils and beneficial microorganisms.

He has co-authored three scientific publications on antimicrobial compounds, plant extracts, and the distribution of groundnut fungal pathogens in Senegal.

In 2025, he completed an Erasmus+ mobility at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Türkiye, and attended the 9th Plant Protection Congress of Türkiye with International Participation in Ankara (September 2025). He also presented his doctoral research at two seminars in Dakar (January 2025 and March 2026).

From February to June 2027, he will undertake an Erasmus+ research mobility at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal, to strengthen his skills in molecular characterization of mango-associated bacteria and investigate the potential of beneficial microorganisms for biological control of plant diseases.
