Dr. Mohammad Azizul Haque, an associate professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, has successfully produced pesticide-free tomatoes by reducing the use of urea and phosphorus fertilizers by 50 to 100 percent. His field research in Dinajpur district showed that tomato plants treated with endophytic bacteria grew larger, greener, and yielded nearly three times more fruit than those cultivated with conventional chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Over the past one and a half years, Dr. Haque conducted bacterial consortium trials across ten fields in Dinajpur Sadar, Chirirbandar, and Setabganj upazilas, achieving consistent results in both winter and summer tomato crops. The treated fields required no pesticide sprays, maintained soil quality, and showed higher nutrient levels. The tomatoes were also richer in lycopene, flavonoids, amino acids, and minerals.
The research also demonstrated success in companion sugarcane cultivation, where bacterial treatment increased plant height and weight by about 2.5 times. Dr. Haque hopes for government approval to expand the technology nationwide for safer food and improved sugar production.
