Green chemistry - a novel poison parsnip control regime

安大略省康沃尔的圣劳伦斯学院和安大略省密西沙加的洛拉马集团已经建立了战略合作伙伴关系，以对抗有害的野生防风草，许多加拿大市政当局投入了大量资源来管理。野生防风草是加拿大的一种外来入侵物种，含有可导致烧伤和潜在失明的汁液。这项研究项目将由圣劳伦斯学院康沃尔校区的环境技术研究人员领导，他们将研究一种破坏野生防风草生长并促进无害植物生长的新方法。与Lorama一起，这两个组织将尝试各种配方，以了解最佳设计，以减少加拿大和全球野生防风草的生长和传播。此外，研究小组希望降低控制这种入侵植物的成本。关于Lorama集团。虽然Lorama主要从事油漆和涂料的添加剂和著色剂，但通过利用其在生物基化学品生产行业的多年经验，Lorama正在使其产品组合多样化，以应对加拿大和全球的其他变化。关于圣劳伦斯学院应用研究圣劳伦斯学院成立于2006年，一直致力于帮助制造和生产领域的行业改进和优化其生产流程和产品供应。应用研究部门的研究人员已经帮助安大略省东部和加拿大的100多家公司改进了他们运营和制造产品的方式。

The St. Lawrence College of Cornwall, Ontario and Lorama Group of Mississauga, Ontario have entered into a strategic partnership in order to combat the noxious wild parsnip that many Canadian municipalities invests substantial resources to manage. Wild parsnip is an invasive, non-native species to Canada which contains saps that can lead to burns and potentially blindness. This research project, which will be led by Envrionmental Technology researchers from St. Lawrence College's Cornwall campus will investigate a novel way of disrupting the growth of wild parsnip and promote the growth of less noxious plants. Together with Lorama, the two organization will trial various formulations ot understand the optimal deisgn to reduce the growth and spread of wild parsnip in Canada and globally. Additionally, the team hope to reduce the cost of controlling this invasive plant. About Lorama Group. While typically involved in the additives and colourants of Paints and Coatings, Lorama is diversifying it's portfolio of product offerings by leveraging is years of ecperience in the bio-based chemical production industry to address other Canadian and global changes. About St. Lawrence College Applied Research.
