Rovaltain Research Staphyt

Agrochemicals services

RRS offers assistance to test the efficacy of your pure substances or your formulated products (PPP – efficacy test…). Physical-chemical properties, ecotoxicological and environmental studies, RRS offers a range of services suitable to your request.

RRS offers efficacy trials for your agrochemicals products.

Indoor Plots

RRS offers to carry out efficacy trials in real exposure conditions

  • Temperature 17 – 24 °C
  • Hygrometry
  • Lighting
  • Various replicates with a surface area of 1m2 and a depth till 1m.

Lighting

Thanks to its last generation equipment, RRS offers to adapt the lighting on your trials. Light spectrum is thus optimise to match with a desired geographical area.

Surface available

With a surface area of 250m2 RRS can implement a large number of plot with a surface area of 1m2 each. We can thus test different modalities with a defined number of replicates in the same conditions..

In order to simulate real exposition conditions, RRS dispose of a spraying chamber.
