Improving the efficiency of use of agricultural chemicals, through utilization of novel liquid crystalline carriers particles, will deliver significant environmental and economic benefits. Reduced overall usage and input of chemicals into the environment, together with lower water consumption in the treatment of crops will contribute to an Environmentally Sustainable Australia, with benefits in reduced salinity. More economical farming will also lead to flow on benefits to other businesses in rural communities. The project will also enhance Australia's reputation in the uptake of nanotechnologies, and in training of young scientists in the nanotechnology field.

通过利用新型液晶载体颗粒来提高农业化学品的使用效率，将带来显著的环境和经济效益。减少化学品的总体使用和环境投入，以及降低作物处理的水消耗，将有助于澳大利亚的环境可持续发展，并带来降低盐度的好处。更经济的农业也将导致利益流向农村社区的其他企业。该项目还将提高澳大利亚在纳米技术吸收和纳米技术领域青年科学家培训方面的声誉。
