The aims of this 24-month AAKTP with
I-CAT Pty and
CSIR are to establish platform-based technologies and cost effective biopesticides/biostimulant products using innovative and novel bioprocesses for adoption by growers and smallholder farmers of all sizes within the Agricultural and Horticultural sectors.
Formed in 2009, I-CAT's core focus and strategy is to remain a recognized industry leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative green technologies for the agricultural and mining sectors. A key strand of this strategy, and company vision, is the growth and development of bio-based solutions, specifically those that are cost-effective, affordable, and available to a wide range of end users within the agricultural sector. This KTP supports this strategy and will strengthen I-CAT's current position with the creation of new product lines that are environmentally friendly, with unique selling points based on efficacy (plant-growth promotion, anti-fungal).
