Scientists find bacteria that clean soil toxins and boost plant growth, reducing pesticide use.

Researchers at IIT Bombay have identified bacteria that can consume toxic pollutants in soil and produce beneficial nutrients, potentially reducing the need for chemical pesticides. These bacteria enhance plant growth, inhibit harmful fungi, and make nutrients more accessible to plants. Found in contaminated soil and agricultural fields, they break down toxic chemicals into non-toxic compounds, aiding in soil health and fertility.
