Performs research and development of microbial-based fertilizers and develops microbial inoculants technology for efficient conversion of agro-industrial wastes into quality biofertilizers as low-cost agricultural farm input. The laboratory also uses DNA-based techniques to formulate efficient microbial consortia as biostimulant for plants for increased crop productivity. It has hosted high school and university students in the conduct of their thesis, practicum, and on-the-job training, among others. The laboratory also offers training and extension on BOF Technology and publishes papers on biofertilizer development on microbial formulations for crop and soil productivity.
