Field Trials

Before taking your new pesticides, seed varieties and fertilizers to market, you have to test them in supervised field trials under all geographic and climatic conditions. Therefore, it makes sense to use the contract research services of a specialist organization with a global reach: SGS.

As a well-established and highly competent partner, we provide you with a globally standardized field trials research service. Our field trial center adheres to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Experimental Practices (GEP), works to specific national and international standards and adopts harmonized application techniques and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

GEP field trials

We provide a flexible and impartial resource that supports the screening, development and registration of your agricultural and horticultural chemicals, biopesticides, fertilizers and new plant varieties. Our facilities comply with the relevant industry-specific quality management systems for conducting regulatory efficacy studies for local, international and global submissions.

Our GEP field trials cover the following categories:

• Acaracides 
• Biopesticides
• Fertilizers
• Fungicides
• Herbicides
• Insecticides
• Molluscicides 
• Nematicides
• Plant growth regulators (PGRs)
• Stored crops

GLP field trials

We have many years of experience in the planning and coordination of GLP field trials, in multiple locations and climates. Our standardized operating procedures, field trial document system, experienced staff, quality approach and state-of-the-art equipment prevent bias in the studies performed. And you can benefit from one single contract offering a range of truly international services, including:

• Crop residue trials
• Crop rotation
• Ecotoxicology
• Environmental fate
