A Biological Efficacy and Phytotoxicity Study of a Novel Oxidant Product for Plant Protection against Pathogens
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 82Floriculture and nursery crops are one of the highest value-per-acre industries in the farm sector. Like food crops, ornamental crops are infected by many fungal and bacterial pathogens, which result in substantial yield and quality losses. The environmental horticulture industry is one of the key subsectors of the U.S. agricultural economy, providing an estimated 48,883 permanent and temporary jo ...

A Decision Tool for Anaerobic Digesters at WWTPs
SBC: QUANTALUX, LLC Topic: 84Many municipal wastewater plants are interested in maximizing the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) at their wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but lack the tools to evaluate the potential benefits. The decision process for how to best use an anaerobic digester is complex, requiring tradeoffs in feedstock management, energy use/production and appropriate disposal of the processed organic material. ...

Advanced Filtration System for Serum Potassium
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: DHP16010Hyperkalemia continues to be a concern when treating combat casualties. Current hemodialysis systems use a dialysate in a membrane contactor to replicate the function of the kidney by removing the toxins, excess fluid and the minerals. The dialysis machines used in hemodialysis centers are bulky. There are home dialysis machines that are smaller but not person portable and weighing about 70lbs.Sim ...

Agronomic, environmental, and economic evaluation of cyanobacterial bio-fertilizer for small and mid-size farms growing high-value crops
SBC: THIN AIR NITROGEN SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: 812Modern agriculture is highly dependent on nitrogen (N) fertilization to maintain high yields and profitability. In organic agriculture, cover crops and bulky organic amendments supply N; transport costs can be prohibitive, and energy used in transport is substantial. In conventional agriculture, industrial N fixation uses natural gas, high temperatures, and high pressures to convert atmospheric N ...

Ambient Temperature Oxidation Catalyst for Ethylene Control in Fresh Produce Containers
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 813The respiration of fresh fruits and vegetables (FF & amp;V) converts oxygen from the surrounding air into carbon dioxide, moisture and ethylene. While ethylene is used under controlled conditions as a ripening agent, the presence of even small amounts of ethylene gas in shipping and storage containers causes most fresh produce to deteriorate much faster, potentially spoiling it before it reaches t ...

A New Renewable Polymer from Bio Oil
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 88This project will develop a catalytic process to manufacture a new renewable and degradable bio-plastic that could be used to replace polyethylene in many applications, including those that constitute a large part of land and ocean litter such as bags, food packaging and disposable tableware.

An innovative mechanized system for transferring tissue-cultured plantlets to propagation trays to revolutionize vegetable and floral crop production
SBC: Alaska AgriTech Inc. Topic: 813Tissue culture is a well-established micropropagation method for many vegetable and floral crops. However, transferring plantlets from tissue culture vessels to the propagation trays is extremely time consuming and labor intensive. It is the major obstacle in crop production. The purpose of this projectis to design and produce a prototype which can efficiently transfer plantlets to propagation tra ...
