Post Doctoral Research
Post Doctoral Research Project: The status of organically
bound insoluble form of heavy metals like Arsenic (As) and 
Cadmium (Cd) in Black soil, and to find out the mechanism
of bio-remediation, especially phyto-remediation how 
plant root can solubulize the organically bound insoluble
form of arsenic and cadmium in Black soils.
