USDAとEPAが次世代肥料イノベーションコンテストの優勝者を発表


ワシントン、2021年10月19日 - 本日、米国農務省と米国環境保護庁(EPA)は、米国における農業の持続可能性を推進するための高効率肥料(EEF)に関するUSDA-EPA共同パートナーシップおよびコンペティションの2部構成の第2部である次世代肥料イノベーション・チャレンジの優勝者を発表しました。このコンペティションの目標は、肥料の効率を改善して作物の収穫量を増やしながら、肥料が環境に与える影響を減らすことです。

 

USDA and EPA Announce Winners of the Next Gen Fertilizer Innovations Challenge

 

コンテストの優勝者は、作物の収穫量を維持または増加させながら、現代の農業による窒素とリンの環境への影響を軽減できる新しい技術のコンセプトを提出しました。優勝したソリューションは、肥料をあまり必要とせず、成長中の植物の必要に応じて栄養素を放出し、その後無害な物質または栄養素に生分解するナノ粒子を使用したり、同じまたはより少ない肥料の施用で植物の成長を促進したりするなどのアプローチを採用しています。

 

“Farmers, ranchers, and foresters are well-positioned to be leaders in tackling climate change through technological innovation,” said Acting USDA Chief Scientist Hubert Hamer. “Through programs like the Next Gen Fertilizer Innovations Challenge, USDA is partnering with the private sector to find new climate-smart solutions that are good for farmers and good for the environment.”

 

“The goal of the challenge is to develop and use innovative and affordable technologies to reduce environmental impacts of modern agriculture on our air, land, and water, while maintaining agricultural productivity and profitability,” said Wayne Cascio, acting principal deputy assistant administrator for science for EPA’s Office of Research and Development. “We are excited about the possibilities and continued new work in this area.”

 

The winning concepts include a range of solutions that can improve environmental outcomes, including reduced nitrous oxide emissions—the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture— while maintaining or increasing crop yields.

 

受賞者は次のとおりです:

 

ティア 1 ソリューション (賞金 17,500 ドル):

 

ユタ州ドレイパーの Aqua-Yield Operations LLC の Christopher Hendrickson 博士が、ナノスマート肥料について語ります。

Taylor Pursell, Pursell Agri-Tech, Sylacauga, Ala., for “Urea 2.0,” which replaces the conventional urea core with a customizable mixture of materials to provide fertilizers tailored to local needs.

ティア 2 ソリューション (賞金 10,000 ドル):

 

ノースカロライナ州ケアリーの Verdesian Life Sciences 社の Kuide Qin 博士は、革新的な混合技術を使用して業界標準のニトラピリンの性能を改善し、効果の持続、硝酸塩の浸出の低減、農業機械の腐食防止を実現しました。

Dr. Catherine Roue, Fertinagro Biotech International, Portage, Mich., for “Phosphate Liberation Booster” technology, which uses secretions from phosphate-starved plants to boost plant uptake so less fertilizer may be added and legacy phosphorus can be accessed.

Chandrika Varadachari, Agtec Innovations Inc., Los Altos, Calif., for “Smart-N,” which is a smart-fertilizer that releases nutrients on-demand by the crop and which creates a chemical “cage” for urea that dissolves into plant nutrients.

Tier 3 ソリューション (優秀賞):

 

チェコ共和国、チェコ科学アカデミー実験植物学研究所のヤロスラフ・ニスラー博士。植物成長ホルモンMTUの誘導体を使用することで、成長期間の延長、ストレスからの保護、植物の大型化、施肥単位当たりの栄養損失の低減が可能となる。

Dr. Leanne Gilbertson, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh, Penn., for creating a “protected fertilizer package,” which can carry nutrients through soil pores to the area around the plant roots.

Dr. Robert Neidermyer, Holganix LLC, Aston, Penn., for “Bio 800+,” a microbial inoculant that harnesses the power of over 800 species of soil microbes, kelp, and other soil amending ingredients to promote greater crop production and plant health.

Paul Mullins, Brandon Products Ltd., Ireland, for “BBS-1,” a biostimulant derived from seaweed extract that is applied as a fertilizer coating to improve nitrogen-uptake in root cells.

USDA と EPA は、肥料協会 (TFI)、国際肥料開発センター (IFDC)、自然保護協会 (TNC)、全米トウモロコシ生産者協会 (NCGA) と協力して、EEF の課題を調整しています。

 

The competition launched on August 26, 2020. Part two of the first challenge, “EEFs: Environmental and Agronomic Challenge,” is ongoing. More information can be found at: www.epa.gov/innovation/next-gen-fertilizer-challenges.

 

USDA touches the lives of all Americans each day in so many positive ways. In the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is transforming America’s food system with a greater focus on more resilient local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers, ensuring access to safe, healthy and nutritious food in all communities, building new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers using climate smart food and forestry practices, making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America, and committing to equity across the Department by removing systemic barriers and building a workforce more representative of America.
