Using both laboratory and field trials, STRI carries out research on all aspects of plant protection. Recognised as an official Efficacy Testing Facility (ORETO 236) by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate, we conduct trials to evaluate pesticide efficacy and crop safety.
All trials can be conducted to EPPO Guidelines. We also offer complete confidentiality. However, on request, trial results can be presented at client's conferences and seminars and we can also provide technical help at product launches.
Fungicidal products fall into different categories such as contact or systemic, multi-site or single-site activity and belong to different chemical families.
