  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez focuses on Rhizosphere, Siderophore, Microbial inoculant, Xanthomonas oryzae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez has included themes like Food science, Fusarium oxysporum and Pyricularia in her Rhizosphere study. In her study, Inoculation is strongly linked to Bakanae, which falls under the umbrella field of Fusarium oxysporum.

Her studies in Pyricularia integrate themes in fields like Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Plant disease resistance, Superoxide dismutase, Rhizobacteria and Glucanase. The study of Glucanase is intertwined with the study of Botany in a number of ways. The various areas that Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez examines in her Microbial inoculant study include Fusarium and Microbiology.
