Pacific Ag Research provides manufacturers and distributors of agricultural products with expert and confidential field and laboratory research in many important areas. |
||
These include:
Testing product effectiveness against insects, weeds, and diseases under field conditions.
Determining the environmental fate of new chemistries in soil, water and plant tissues.
Monitoring field worker exposure, and air monitoring for off target movement of products.
Studying post harvest rot and decay control of fruits and vegetables.
Testing product safety on crop plants by formulation and rate applied.
Development of new pest control application equipment.
Testing of new germplasm
Confidential third party evaluations of agricultural products.
Our research is designed to meet the needs of the client and draws from our 25 years of experience in IPM and Western agriculture to give valuable insight into the R&D process for these important high cash crops.
Our work is always confidential, independent of the manufacturer's bias, and usually well ahead of governmental and academic programs.
Typical research projects include:
Small plot field studies in pest and beneficial insect control, foliar and soil disease management, research to determine the duration of control of pesticides, required spray intervals and optimal usage rates, as well as multiple product comparisons for market positioning prior to introduction.
Field and greenhouse studies of crop safety and potential for phytotoxicity
Greenhouse and lab bioassays for efficacy
Residue studies to determine half life information for Federal and State registration under GLP
Product post-harvest studies to determine the effect on produce shelf life, and processing studies to determine, for example, product effectiveness in wine and beer fermentation
Soil fumigation studies to determine efficacy and meeting of GLP requirements
Soil Dissipation studies according to GLP requirements
Studies of fumigation of stored products and import commodities
Veterinary, household, and urban pest research
Studies comparing application methods, including the design and engineering of innovative new application equipment.
