ITC Teak Mineral Nutrition

Resolving nutritional impediments to expansion and growth of teak plantations in Queensland.

Porous silica-based nanocapsules for targeted and controlled release of biocides

Develops a new technology for the delivery of biocides against agricultural pests, with biocides contained within silica nanocapsules which are themselves protected by an outer envelope, capable of being selectively broken down by the target pest. Will reduce the amount of biocide escaping into the environment, prolong the life of the biocide, reduce biocide usage rates, and reduce undesirable effects on non-target organisms.
