KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — April 1, 2019, marked the beginning of a new relationship between researchers at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, the National Forest Research Institute (NIFoS) of South Korea and Nisus Corporation. The three parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to facilitate further research collaboration.

Nisus Corporation is based in Rockford, Tennessee, and is a leader in the commercial development of environmentally friendly pest control products and wood preservatives. Nisus has partnered with researchers at UTIA in the past to develop novel wood preservatives and waste-recycling systems.

Adam Taylor, professor of wood science in the UT Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries, is leading the research effort from UTIA. Taylor has worked with Nisus Corporation in the past and looks forward to continued collaboration and new research efforts with Nisus and NIFoS. “Working with industry partners means that I can see the research results transferred into the marketplace. It’s very satisfying!” says Taylor.

This new MOU will facilitate further collaboration on sustainable wood protection systems which are effective, safe and available for use in the U.S. and in South Korea, with possible expansion into research on wider issues related to forests and forest products.
