Blankney Estates produces naturally oil-soluble chlorophyll and water-soluble chlorophyllin, using exclusively Lincolnshire-grown, pesticide free grass and alfalfa. It is one of the world's largest suppliers of chlorophyll, which is used in a range of food, nutra- and pharmaceuticals applications. As part of its chlorophyll production process, the company produces a grass wax fraction and this project will investigate the use of this material as a novel biocontrol agent for late potato blight, which results in up to £50 million of annual losses for UK farmers.

布兰克尼庄园生产天然油溶性叶绿素和水溶性叶绿酸，专门使用林肯郡种植，无农药草和苜蓿。它是世界上最大的叶绿素供应商之一，叶绿素用于一系列食品，营养品和药品应用。作为叶绿素生产过程的一部分，该公司生产了一种草蜡馏分，该项目将研究这种材料作为马铃薯晚疫病的新型生物防治剂的用途，这导致英国农民每年损失高达5000万英镑。
