New pest control or fertility product registration requirements include many tests aimed at establishing the
potential for phytotoxicity and injury to crop. During crop safety validation, usage rates are increased at several
times field levels and common tank mix partners are used to simulate
potential situations where plant injury may occur. Our test of product safety emphasizes various
growing regions where plant cuticle development differs, and extreme
environmental conditions where plant stress may predispose tissues
to phytotoxicity. Pacific
Ag can identify subtle effects of products on plant development and physiology and our staff are noted world experts in recognizing and quantifying
both morphological and physiological injury of pesticides to plants.
