Our European trials programmes ensures that each adjuvant is screened for biological efficacy and backed with comprehenive trials results by:

  • Leading European research organisations

  • Agrovista trials

  • Agrochemical manufacturers

Trials are conducted throughout Europe, including our own trial sites in the UK.

Trials mapUsing our specially modified sprayers we are able to conduct replicated trials that investigate conventional and exploratory application techniques and their interaction with both pesticide and adjuvant.
