4 Main Objectives To apply the microbial technology to mitigate soil/sediment pollution and stimulate plant growth for
sustainable agricultural production
5 Focal Points Act 1: Biodegradation of pesticide in contaminated paddy field under the impact of climate change
-Studying the niche of aerobic chlorpyrifos ethyl (CP) biodegradation.
- Defining the organohalide respiring bacterial group involved
in anaerobic biodegradation of CP.

Act 2: The microbial enzymes technology for the
degradation of pesticides and plant growth stimulation
- Optimization of growth conditions for crude acid phosphatase
production.
- Partial purification of acid
phosphatase.

Testing the growth conditions for crude
acid phosphatase production
Act 3: Formulation and application of
bio-fertilizers and bio-wastes on rice in acid
sulfate soils
- Effect of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF)
bio-fertilizer on growth performance and yield of rice growth
on acid sulfate soils in greenhouse conditions.
