BIO-PLUS: A NOVEL SOIL AMENDMENT FOR DESERT
A novel bio-product “BIO-PLUS”
for improving desert soil fertility
was successfully developed by the
Biotechnology Department in
KISR.

SOIL BIOREMEDIATION: A Cost Effective Green Technology for Soil Decontamination:
Remediation and rehabilitation of oil
contaminated desert soil and the oil lakes resulted
in the development of cost effective bioremediation
and physical chemical technologies for treatment of
oil contaminated soils and oil sludge. These
technologies were field demonstrated successfully
at a large scale under Kuwait conditions
![Page 32: CURRENT STATUS OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN STATE OF KUWAIT](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5af461a28abb9618b45ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The potential use of the bioremediated soil for
landscape purpose was demonstrated by the
establishment of a public park in Al-Ahmadi,
Kuwait. The composts can replace part of or all synthetic
fertilizers used in the operation.
