We offer regulatory efficacy testing for the registration of plant protection products as well as fertiliser and biostimulant products. We also support the development of AgTech innovative solutions with scientific validation experiments in real agricultural situations.
With a broad geographic reach, extensive crop coverage, deep technical expertise, efficient programme management, and flexible solutions, we deliver reliable support tailored to your needs.
Our knowledge of national laws, guidelines, and regulations, combined with our understanding of the local occurrence of weeds, pests, diseases and abiotic stress provides an ideal basis for product efficacy testing of agrochemicals and biological solutions.
Globally, Eurofins Agroscience Services can offer efficacy testing on virtually any cropped, amenity, or non-cropped situation for a large range of products:
From study planning to reporting, we adapt our service to match your requirements whilst ensuring regulatory acceptance. Our experienced team is well-known for its flexibility and reliability.
In Europe, our efficacy trials are conducted according to Regulation (EC) 1107/2009 and the most recent EPPO guidelines, in compliance with Good Experimental Practices (GEP).
Globally, our studies are designed to reflect Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) for the intended crop and use, allowing maximum use of the data generated.
We provide:
In Europe, we offer additional services and capabilities to complete and strengthen your registration dossier for special crops.
Dedicated facilities for efficacy trials on protected crops and ornamental species.
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.
Expert teams for post-harvest management and quality assessment.
We evaluate products and technologies to protect and maintain quality of fruits, tubers and grains after harvest, thus contributing to the reduction of food waste. Our teams are experienced with a wide range of techniques of application and our facilities are equipped for post-harvest storage and quality assessment.
GEP compliant studies to evaluate any unintentional effect during food transformation process.
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.
