EMURGO and Zilliqa Group Announce Collaboration to Enhance Interoperability Between Cardano and Zilliqa
The partnership advances innovation in environmentally responsible pest control and supports Malaysia's oil palm industry through science-backed field solutions
PENANG, Malaysia, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Envu Malaysia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), formalizing a long-term collaboration aimed at strengthening sustainable rodent control practices through applied research and field validation.
The partnership connects Envu's leadership in professional pest management with USM's academic expertise, particularly through the Barn Owl and Rodent Research Group (BORG), a specialist research team under the School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, dedicated to sustainable rodent management and ecological pest control. Together, the organizations will develop and promote best practices that address rodent management challenges across both plantation and urban settings.
"This partnership builds on a strong foundation of collaboration and signals our shared commitment to delivering locally validated, science-driven solutions," said Lee Teck Peng, Managing Director of Envu Malaysia and Export Countries. "In sectors such as oil palm plantations, where pest pressure and workforce shortages are a growing concern, this collaboration enables us to support customers with tools that are both effective and environmentally responsible."
Recent collaborations between Envu Malaysia and BORG have focused on the development and field validation of Envu's Racumin® Wax Block, a first-generation rodenticide designed for use in both oil palm plantations and urban environments. The partnership also explored innovative multiple baiting strategies with Racumin® Wax Block, yielding promising initial outcomes. These approaches demonstrated practical ways to reduce labour reliance, enabling plantation teams to focus more effectively on other critical maintenance activities.
By promoting more efficient and sustainable rodent management, these efforts align with Envu's commitment to advancing Healthier Spaces and People, as well as Nature Positive Innovation.
Building on these practical outcomes, the collaboration continues to strengthen the academic-industry partnership aimed at sustainable pest management excellence.
The MoU outlines opportunities for the co-development of educational materials, training initiatives, and additional research projects that contribute to high standards of effective and responsible pest management practices across Malaysia. The collaboration also supports knowledge-sharing and talent development between academia and industry. It represents a significant step forward in combining scientific insight with field expertise to address evolving pest control challenges. The collaboration reflects a shared vision to advance responsible, nature-positive innovation grounded in local needs and global relevance.
Envu Malaysia and USM invite industry partners, researchers, and innovators to join us in shaping the future of sustainable pest management through science, collaboration, and shared purpose.
