Panjab University has been granted a patent for a smart and safe technology to break down the harmful pesticide malathion into non‑toxic compounds, helping reduce hazardous residues in soil, crops and water bodies.
PU scientists have developed an innovative immobilised fungal enzyme system that converts malathion into harmless metabolites, offering an eco‑friendly alternative to conventional chemical clean‑up methods.
A step towards cleaner soil, safer food and more sustainable farming practices, supporting national goals under Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
