Dr. Kumar conducted interaction studies of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb) with Ca, Zn and organic matter in the rhizosphere which ultimately led to the development of cost-effective, sustainable and eco-friendly soil-water clean-up technologies like phyto/bioremediation, enhanced remediation efficiency, integrated the applications of hyperaccumulator oilcakes, elemental sulphar, vermicompost, and microbial co-inoculation for minimizing the ill-effect of cadmium and zinc contaminated soils. Developed better understanding of the problems associated with the toxicity of heavy metals to the contaminated ecosystems and their viable, sustainable and eco-friendly bioremediation technologies, especially the mechanisms of phytoremediation of heavy metals along with some case studies in India and abroad. He developed strategies for C-sequestration and smart organic fertigation systems for maintaining soil health. In addition, he developed nanofertilizer, microbial synthesis of nanoparticles, and water conservation and purification strategies for the River Ganges.
