一家世界500強的公司正在尋找一個(gè)或者多個(gè)的合作伙伴,共同開(kāi)發(fā)天然除草劑,任何來(lái)源的都可以。這個(gè)任務(wù)其實(shí)很容易理解,因為現在只有相對較少的天然除草劑可消滅雜草或者其他物種,但是這些正在使用的除草劑如果在錯誤的條件下應用的話(huà)可能是有害的。
這是一項尋找合作伙伴的任務(wù),投標者(包括團隊或公司)只需要提交一份書(shū)面說(shuō)明書(shū),讓公司進(jìn)行評估是否建立合作關(guān)系,投標者需要提出一種新的化學(xué)方法或者尚未探討過(guò)但是可能已有特定方式的新途徑,新來(lái)源。

Partner to Develop a Natural Herbicide
TAGS: Life Sciences, Food/Agriculture, Chemistry, Requests for Partners and Suppliers, eRFP
AWARD: varies | DEADLINE: 1/05/13 | ACTIVE SOLVERS: 4 | POSTED: 11/21/12
The Seeker, a Fortune 500 company, is looking for one or more collaboration partners to help identify and develop naturally occurring herbicides from any and all sources. It is well understood by this Seeker that there are relatively few natural herbicides for eradication of weeds or other invasive plants species and that those that are used today can be harmful if applied under the wrong conditions.
This is an electronic Request-for-Partners (eRFP) Challenge; the Solver (including a team or company) will only need to submit a written proposal to be evaluated by the Seeker with a goal of establishing a collaborative partnership. The Solver should propose a novel chemistry or approach or novel source of naturally occurring herbicides that have not been previously explored but may have shown promise in an ad hoc way.
Detailed Description & Requirements
Background
There are a number of natural pesticides available for insect control, but relatively few natural herbicides for the eradication of weeds or other invasive plants. Many of the recognized natural or non-synthetic phytotoxins that do exist can do more harm than good if they are applied under the wrong conditions, e.g., concentrated acetic acid, chelated iron, pelargonic acid, sodium chloride, or other concentrated chloride salts can be toxic to human health during mixing or application.
Some plants may act as natural herbicides by emitting specific chemicals that cause injury or death to other plants
