Nepal Bio Science Research Laboratory -NBRL

Pesticides and cancer: For the first time, researchers find a connection at the national level French researchers have developed a model to map pesticide exposure across Peru to reported cancer clusters. They demonstrate a 'robust spatial association' between these chemicals and increased cancer incidence rates in over 400 areas.

We spend a lot of money on inputs like Urea, DAP, and Potash. But here's a question every farmer should ask: Is my plant actually absorbing it?

Here's the science part: Plants are picky eaters. They can't absorb granular fertilizer. They need nutrients in a specific "ionic" form (think of it like a liquid tea). Soil microorganisms are the chefs that cook that tea.

If the soil biology is weak, the kitchen is closed. Here’s what happens to your investment:

🖌️You lose 40-60% of your Nitrogen.
🖌️70-80% of your Phosphorus gets locked up and becomes unavailable.
🖌️You see more yellowing and deficiency issues.

The only way to plug this leak is to support the microbes. When the biology is active, it cycles those nutrients right to the plant's roots. You get more from every kilo you apply.

This isn't just about saving money on fertilizer (though that's a big part of it). It's about building a soil that can handle drought, store carbon, and grow better crops for the long haul.

The future of farming isn't just about how much we put in. It's about how much the plant actually gets out.

So proud to be working for a cleaner environment, healthy food, waste managent and native microbes here in Nepal! A huge congratulations to Dr. Mariangela Hungria on being named the 2025 World Food Prize laureate. Her groundbreaking work using beneficial bacteria to replace synthetic fertilizers proves that nature-based solutions are the future of sustainable farming.

🎉 Congratulations to Santosh Ratala Joshi and Prajwol Rijal! ☘️

proudly acknowledges their outstanding achievement in evaluating at Rampur Campus, Chitwan, during the Spring 2025 season. We are grateful for their recognition of our products in this important research.

Their study on Integrated in revealed significant findings: the T5 treatment (50% NPK + ) successfully sustained crop yields while reducing inputs by half. Meanwhile, the T7 treatment (Full NPK + Biofertilizers) resulted in a 28% increase in and enhanced soil content. These outcomes underscore the potential of integrating and to improve nutrient use efficiency, health, and promote practices.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Asst. Prof. Achyut Gaire for his invaluable guidance and support throughout this research.

Well done, Mr. Santosh Ratala Joshi and Mr. Prajwol Rijal! ☘️

Dr. Ingham bridged microbiology and regenerative agriculture, revealing the living foundation beneath our feet. Her vision transformed farming from chemistry to biology, empowering a global movement to heal the soil. Her legacy grows on in every microbe, every farmer, every acre restored. Rest in peace, Dr Ingham.🇳🇵☘️🇳🇵

Soil's Circular Economy in a Jar.🇳🇵☘️💹

It is a self-sustaining microcosm modeling Earth's ecological processes. For Nepal, where agriculture sustains millions, it proves a fundamental truth: without environmental knowledge, sustainable farming is impossible. In an era of climate crisis, adopting Climate-Smart Agriculture is crucial and this jar encapsulates its principles.

Thermodynamically, the jar is materially closed yet energetically open, mirroring Nepalese farms where external inputs are scarce. Farmers must recycle organic matter and use efficiently.

Inside, the biosphere (soil microbes) breaks down waste, releasing nutrients for plants. The atmosphere facilitates gas exchange, while the hydrosphere completes the water cycle through condensation.

By balancing the respiratory quotient, carbon fixation equals release, achieving steady state. This model proves that understanding environmental cycles reusing "biodegradable waste" as nutrients, building soil health, and conserving water helps Nepalese farmers build climate resilient systems without costly external inputs.

Thank you to all participants for a productive consultation in Kaligandi Rural Municipality (Feb 5-6) The collaborative discussions with local government representatives, administration, engineers, and stakeholders have strengthened our roadmap for practical scientific climate action and eco-agriculture to manage local resources for soil soil restoration.

It is a profound honor to meet and extend my warm greetings to the esteemed Board of Trustees Chair Prof. Dr. Seeram Ramakrishna of University, President Prof. Rajendra Dhoj Joshi, Founder/Director Mr. Lochan Gyawali, Jun Chiya. I am deeply grateful for the invitation to participate in this historic First Commencement Ceremony on February 8, 2026, organized by Madan Bhandari University of Science & Technology ( ).

This milestone symbolizes a bold academic journey toward transforming Nepal through innovation, , and , guided by knowledge and a vision. On this momentous occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the graduates of the Class of 2026 and their dedicated supervisors, whose commitment, perseverance, and scholarly guidance have made this achievement possible. I wish you all continued success as you contribute to shaping a resilient and prosperous future for Nepal.🇳🇵
