Nanocellulose from eco-farms for optimal enforcement of bioplastics (L2-50078)

Project Leader: Dr Peter Gselman (Interkorn)

Investigator: Assoc. Prof. Dr Gregor Primc (Jozef Stefan Institute)

Within this applied project, we will investigate the scientific aspects of an innovative technological process for treating corn seeds prior to application of a multifunctional coating containing a fungicide, insecticide, fertilizer, and other agents used in agricultural practice. The goal of our research is to improve the adhesion of this type of coating, reduce the consumption of active ingredients, and thereby reduce the environmental burden of chemicals. We will first check the effectiveness of the innovative technological process in our laboratories and, in the last year of this project, also in the fields.
