Several national, International agencies and nongovernmental organizations are presently engaged in supporting research, and application of ceo-friendly approaches that sustain plat protection and environment. ICRISAT initiated a consortium called "Bioproducts Research Consortium (BRC)" in Jan 2005. BRC is a public and private sector partnership initiative, focused on delivering research outputs, capacity building and technologies leading to mass-scale production of quality bio-products. The microbial collection at ICRISAT has over 2000 accessions that includes promising entomopathogens (Bacillus subtili.
