This project aims to develop a new nano-pesticide with improved safety and performance. Ticks and buffalo fly cause over $400 million each year in economic losses to the Australian livestock industry and are currently treated with highly toxic synthetic pesticides. Spinosad, a naturally derived pesticide with low environmental impact and low toxicity, will be loaded into silica hollow spheres which will improve adhesion to skin or hair and protect against ultraviolet degradation. The nano-spinosad pesticide is expected to have enhanced efficacy and effective duration in field conditions compared to conventional pesticides, significantly reducing the cost of pest control.

该项目旨在开发一种具有更高安全性和性能的新型纳米农药。蜱虫和水牛蝇每年给澳大利亚畜牧业造成超过 4 亿美元的经济损失，目前使用的是一种高毒合成农药——多杀菌素。纳米多杀菌素对环境影响小，毒性低，将其装入二氧化硅空心球中，可提高对皮肤或头发的附着力，并防止紫外线降解，预计可提高其药效和有效持续时间。与传统农药相比田间条件明显改善，降低了病虫害防治成本。
