Indian Institute of Spices Research (IISR) of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR, Govt of Inida) provided virulent Trichoderma harzianum strain and mass production technology
Technical Tie-up with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) for mass production of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma viride
This a part most of the virulent microbial strains were obtained from Project Directorate of Biological Control (PDBC).
Our R&D centre also isolated and selected certain strains from different agro-climatic zones and soil specific strains.

This state of the art R&D centre of Sri Biotech is equipped with all necessary facilities for research in Entomology, Microbial biotechnology, Plant pathology and Micropropagation. A green house and farm supports in - house trials.

Sri Biotech's in house R&D is first of its kind in the state developed different products based on biological systems for disease and pest management.

Current Work

R&D work is under progress to identify certain microorganisms involved in bio-remediation with special reference to aquaculture.
Trials on batch production of these organisms and their effect on pond ecosystem to control poisonous gasses and organic sludge are in under way.
The future R&D will be focussed on disease and pest management in agricultural, aqua and veterinary areas.
