Isolation and Characterisation of Indigenous Zinc Solubilising Microbes and their Probiotic Potentiality in Aquatic Ecosystems of Malawi

Samuel Mwafulirwa, Amon Chikoza & Fortune Mwafulirwa Kanyada · Asian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Research · 2025

In this study, zinc solubilizing microorganisms (ZnSM) were isolated from the rhizospheres of aquatic plants, water and benthic soils of Malawi aquatic ecosystem with the aim of having cheap and environmental friendly biofertiliser that have probiotics traits in Malawi. Several s...

Isolation Characterization and Diversity of Indigenous Pesticide Degrading Microbes from Selected Agro Ecological Zones of Malawi

Samuel Mwafulirwa · Asian Plant Research Journal · 2023

Pesticide xenobiotics have a great impact on bio argumentation, bio-magnification, and environment degradation regardless of being adopted by green revolution technologies. Bioremediation is widely accepted because it’s cheap, practical at the same time environmentally friendly....

Effect of Carrier Materials, Coinoculation and Sterilization on Survival of Plant Growth Promoting Microbes

Samuel Mwafulirwa & Fortune M. Kanyada · Asian Plant Research Journal · 2023

The study was conducted to investigate diverse carrier materials out of agricultural and environmental waste, that plays a role in maintaining the shelf life of plant growth promoting microbes (PGPM) at room temperature for locally produced inoculants in Malawi. Five different fo...

Improving Maize Productivity under Rain-Fed Conditions through the Combined Use of Inorganic and Organic Fertilizer in Malawi

Austin T. Phiri, Kate Malola, Samuel Mwafulirwa & Pacsu Simwaka · Asian Plant Research Journal · 2020

Integrated soil fertility management was promoted on-farm during the 2018/2019 cropping season in Thyolo, Phalombe, Mulanje and Zomba districts of southern Malawi, in purposively selected extension planning areas (EPAs). Sixty farmers, fifteen from each district were involved. Tr...
