Sustainable Crop Protection Arc Hub

The Sustainable Crop Protection Hub, located in St. Lucia, Queensland, is a multidisciplinary research initiative that aims to enhance global food security through the development of RNA-based biopesticides. This innovative approach seeks to reduce chemical inputs, increase crop productivity, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
One of the hub's key innovations is BioClay, a biodegradable spray solution that employs clay particles to deliver dsRNA, helping plants fend off pests and diseases by stimulating their natural immune systems. This environmentally sensitive method not only offers longer protection periods without leaving toxic residues but also supports the overall viability of sustainable farming.
