Greenhouse crops experiments

Dedicated facilities for efficacy trials on protected crops and ornamental species.

Expand_img

At our fully owned greenhouses, all major biotic and abiotic stresses can be tested. Our expert teams employ various techniques to manage pest pressure, including soil and material disinfection, disease inoculation and artificial pest infestation. We also conduct trials in growth chambers with strictly controlled conditions to ensure reliable and consistent crop response.

Food processing and taint tests

GEP compliant studies to evaluate any unintentional effect during food transformation process.

Expand_img

At our facility located in the South of France, we faithfully reproduce, at pilot scale, industrial food processing for a large range of commodities. We monitor the technical parameters during the process in order to detect any deviation. We conduct a sensory taint test on the final product to detect any shift in organoleptic properties.
