A. Adding values to agrowaste management

• Quantification and control or abate odour originating from agriculture
• Effective utilization of rice straw to prevent burning
• Fast degradation of plant wastes especially rice straw and oil palm empty fruit bunch
• Product development from agrowastes

B. Addressing functionality and efficacy in biofertilizers

• Microbial characterization and development of microbial based biofertilizers
• Laboratory and field verification of N-Fixers and P-Solubilizing microbes
• Mass production of characterized microbes for biofertilizers
• Development of suitable carriers for selected microbial fertilizer

C. Fertilizer Management Technology

• Fertilizer is a paramount factor affecting productivity especially intensive farming, which highly dependent on inorganic fertilizers
• Except Urea, other fertilizers are totally dependent on import sources
• Current trends showed increasing total amount of fertilizer import/use which incurs high loss in foreign exchange
• Inefficient fertilizer use lead to low productivity and environmental contamination.
