Description There is an increasing pressure on agriculture to produce more food to meet the demand from
the growing populations all around the world. As the demand for food production increased the need for
Intensive plant protection also stepped up with increased use of toxic pesticides resulted in complex
environmental, economical and operational implications. Several national, International agencies and nongovernmental
organizations are presently engaged in supporting research, and application of ceo-friendly
approaches that sustain plat protection and environment.
ICRISAT initiated a consortium called "Bioproducts Research Consortium (BRC)" in Jan 2005. BRC is a
public and private sector partnership initiative, focused on delivering research outputs, capacity building
and technologies leading to mass-scale production of quality bio-products. The microbial collection at
ICRISAT has over 2000 accessions that includes promising entomopathogens (Bacillus subtili.
