The wet 2021 season resulted in significant crop losses in England due to this pathogen. There are no suitable sources of resistance in commercially acceptabl...

Currently the recycling of films is greatly held back by the absence of a technology that can decontaminate post consumer polyolefin (LDPE, LLDPE,HDPE,PP) films back to food-grade and create high value end-markets for these recycled plastics back into films which is critical to boosting the recycling rate of films. The vision of this project is to fill th...
