Abhishek Walia’s current research interests include evaluating plant growth promoting rhizobacteria as biofertilizer and biocontrol agents, the role of PGPR in stress-tolerance mechanisms for sustainable plant health, deciphering the roles of microbes present in different bioformulations of organic and natural farming environments and elucidating their mechanisms for better plant health, pest-insect and disease management, and enzymes of industrial importance such as xylanase, cellulase, protease and amylase.
