flag Australian scientists develop tea tree oil-based biopesticide to combat sheep flystrike, using nanotechnology.

flag Australian researchers are developing a new biopesticide using tea tree oil to fight flystrike in sheep, a parasitic infestation. flag Funded by industry groups, the project uses nanotechnology to create an environmentally friendly alternative to current chemical controls. flag If successful, the biopesticide could provide longer-lasting protection and boost the tea tree oil industry. flag The research, expected to take two years, will move to animal trials if effective in lab tests.
