The nonlinear coupling between drift waves and a lower-hybrid pump wave is studied in a magnetized dusty plasma cylinder. The growth rate and mode frequencies were evaluated based on typical dusty plasma parameters. It is found that the unstable drift mode frequency increases and the growth rate decreases sharply with the relative density of negatively charged dust grains. In addition, the growth rate and unstable mode frequency depend on pump wave amplitudes.
