Our client, a global agricultural producer and food and beverage manufacturer, is looking for expertise and advancements in the delivery of active components to a wide range of tree fruits. Research has indicated that the application of Nano-Emulsions to fruit products, either pre- or post- harvest, can be an effective and efficient way of achieving the application of active components.
Nano-Emulsions in agriculture
Our client is looking to identify new and emerging nano-emulsion technologies that can be utilised to deliver the key active components to help manage:
- Crop protection.
- Crop improvement.
- Crop Growth.
- Soil Enhancement.
- Soil tolerance.
- Precision Agriculture
- Prevalence of disease through the application of bio -fungicides.
- Prevalence of pests through the application of bio -pesticides, as part of an Integrated Pest Management system.
- Rate of ripening.
- Degradation in supply chain.
- Fertilisation.
- Shelf life stability.
Of particular interest are emerging technologies focussed on the application of natural material such as essential oils.
Early stage research and development technologies are of interest for all aspects of this project, however commercially available or nearer to market solutions are the priority.
