GEP Efficacy Testing for Agrochemicals

Eurofins Agroscience Services performs a wide range of efficacy studies (GEP) for product development and demonstration, and regulatory approvals

Our GEP agrochemical efficacy studies are carried out globally by dedicated staff who can provide trial locations in representative climates across a range of cropping regions. Our knowledge of national laws, guidelines, and regulations, combined with our understanding of the local occurrence of weeds, pests, and diseases, provides an ideal basis for pesticide, biorational, and other crop protection product efficacy testing.

We offer efficacy testing on:

• Acaricides
• Biopesticides
• Biocides
• Biostimulants
• Fertilizers
• Fungicides
• Herbicides
• Insecticides
• Nematicides
• Molluscicides
• PGRs (Plant Growth Regulators)
• Selectivity / Crop safety
• Storage pests & diseases
• Soil disinfectants / sterilants
• Fumigants

Tailored efficacy trials

Trials can be conducted in most regions with individually tailored study plans and reports created to match your requirements, whilst ensuring regulatory acceptance. We use our knowledge and experience to optimise our services and our experienced team is well known for its flexibility and reliability.

Considering the agricultural variability between global locations, we deliver a uniform, but tailored, technical response irrespective of the type of study or its geographical location.

Your study director or program manager will regularly inform you on the progress of your trials, with the option for you to request updates as frequently as necessary. We strongly advocate you visit us to evaluate the activity of your products at critical points in the development process.

Data Exchange, reports, and registration dossier support

We provide:

• Quick initialising of studies
• Regular trial updates
• Electronic Data Exchange in ARM (Agriculture Research Manager) or other formats during the course of the studies
• Reports containing all information for registration dossier preparation
• Quick overview of the results

Good Experimental Practice & Good Agricultural Practice

Our GEP efficacy trials are conducted according to Regulation (EC) 1107/2009 and the most recent EPPO guidelines 

Application techniques are designed to reflect GAP (Good Agricultural Practice*) in the corresponding country with national and international study designs adopted to ensure maximum use of the data generated. Globally, Eurofins Agroscience Services can offer efficacy testing on virtually any cropped, amenity, or non-cropped situation in most regions.
