一家世界500强的公司正在寻找一个或者多个的合作伙伴，共同开发天然除草剂，任何来源的都可以。这个任务其实很容易理解，因为现在只有相对较少的天然除草剂可消灭杂草或者其他物种，但是这些正在使用的除草剂如果在错误的条件下应用的话可能是有害的。
这是一项寻找合作伙伴的任务，投标者(包括团队或公司)只需要提交一份书面说明书，让公司进行评估是否建立合作关系，投标者需要提出一种新的化学方法或者尚未探讨过但是可能已有特定方式的新途径，新来源。

Partner to Develop a Natural Herbicide
TAGS: Life Sciences, Food/Agriculture, Chemistry, Requests for Partners and Suppliers, eRFP
AWARD: varies | DEADLINE: 1/05/13 | ACTIVE SOLVERS: 4 | POSTED: 11/21/12
The Seeker, a Fortune 500 company, is looking for one or more collaboration partners to help identify and develop naturally occurring herbicides from any and all sources. It is well understood by this Seeker that there are relatively few natural herbicides for eradication of weeds or other invasive plants species and that those that are used today can be harmful if applied under the wrong conditions.
This is an electronic Request-for-Partners (eRFP) Challenge; the Solver (including a team or company) will only need to submit a written proposal to be evaluated by the Seeker with a goal of establishing a collaborative partnership. The Solver should propose a novel chemistry or approach or novel source of naturally occurring herbicides that have not been previously explored but may have shown promise in an ad hoc way.
Detailed Description & Requirements
Background
There are a number of natural pesticides available for insect control, but relatively few natural herbicides for the eradication of weeds or other invasive plants. Many of the recognized natural or non-synthetic phytotoxins that do exist can do more harm than good if they are applied under the wrong conditions, e.g., concentrated acetic acid, chelated iron, pelargonic acid, sodium chloride, or other concentrated chloride salts can be toxic to human health during mixing or application.
Some plants may act as natural herbicides by emitting specific chemicals that cause injury or death to other plants
