Novel biodegradable additive for enhancing the performance of biological crop protection products

The project involves combining specialised knowledge from UNSW in the area of synthetic biology and material chemistry to develop advanced manufacturing platform to produce a novel, biodegradable adhesion and encapsulation agent, micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) for application to biological products. The project’s initial focus is on the incorporation and testing of MFC in Agnyte™ and it will be expanded to other biological crop protection products.
