Exactly as Specified...
Good research includes accurate test substance
weigh-up, the use of calibrated application equipment, documentation
of the correct crop or pest stage and careful monitoring of weather
and soil conditions. We promptly fill sponsor requests for study
updates during any phase of the project.
Quotations
Quotations vary depending on crop, pest, treatment
list, and evaluation methods. Send us your project outline and we
will promptly provide an estimate.
Final Reporting
Final reports are sumbitted to meet our clients'
timelines. As well, the project sponsor may determine the general
format and style of the report. Our reports are typically generated
using Agricultural Research Manager or FieldPro data management
software. Electronic or hard copy reports may be sent depending
on client preferences.
Regulatory Compliance
When a sponsor does not outline specific guidelines,
we use standard evaluations or rating methods accepted by the
Pest Management Regulatory Agency
(PMRA). The PMRA in Canada requires companies to provide an
adequate quantity of pesticide efficacy data to register their new
products and formulations. For sponsors with specific needs, to
ensure regulatory compliance, we conduct a wide range of efficacy
trials according to our sponsor's specific requirements.
Experience
We are experienced in efficacy trials on pesticides
for a vast number of vegetables, field and fruit crops as well as
turf and ornamentals. We are always working with clients towards finding new solutions to ever changing crop production problems.
