Pesticides include a wide range of agents designed to protect plants from diseases, pests and weed infestations. Using these agents directly translates into better crop quality and yield. Manufacturers of plant protection products are constantly improving their marketed formulations and are always on the lookout for product solutions offering specific, targeted action coupled with benefits such as short half-life, high efficacy and no accumulation of the active substances in plants and soils. However, pesticides must be used in a sustainable way that takes into account the need to minimize their adverse impact on the natural environment. To this end, before a product is authorized for marketing, its performance and safety must be confirmed in accordance with the applicable national and European laws.
Catering to the needs of the market and our clients from the agrochemical industry, GBA POLSKA offers services including experimental field research of pesticides and laboratory analysis of plant protection product residues.
Our AGRO Services division specializes in comprehensive field research to evaluate the efficacy and selectivity of plant protection products in agricultural and horticultural crops, with particular attention to fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, molluscicides, nematicides, bactericides, growth regulators, seed treatments, and biological products (biostimulants and biopreparations). The research is performed in accordance with the applicable EPPO standards, which guarantees top quality.
At the same time, AGRO Services offers testing for pesticide residues in plant material. The testing process comprises application of the analyte on a cultivated area, and, subsequently, sampling and laboratory analysis. The state-of-the-art laboratory at AGRO Services specializes in using LC/MS and GC/MS to analyze plant protection product residues in plant material collected during field research or delivered to the laboratory by order of the client.
