Cutting-Edge Agricultural Testing for Sustainable Solutions

Advancing Agricultural Innovation Through Scientific Research

At Chemical Research Technology, we are dedicated to delivering precise, reliable, and science-driven agricultural testing. Our specialised field trials focus on assessing the effectiveness, safety, and environmental impact of various agricultural products. By following strict Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) guidelines, or tailored client specifications, we ensure that both new and generic products meet the highest industry standards before commercial release.

Our Areas of Expertise

Fungicide Trials

Protecting crops from destructive fungal diseases is essential for maximising yield and quality. Our fungicide trials test various formulations to determine their effectiveness against a wide range of fungal pathogens affecting crops such as citrus, maize, wheat, and vegetables. These trials assess:

Disease suppression effectiveness
Residual activity and reapplication intervals
Crop safety and compatibility

Herbicide Trials

We conduct herbicide trials to evaluate weed control solutions, ensuring they are both effective and environmentally responsible. Our testing includes:

Pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide performance
Selectivity between crop and weed species
Soil persistence and resistance management

Insecticide Trials

Protecting crops from insect pests is crucial to preventing economic losses. Our insecticide trials focus on:

Efficacy against targeted pests (aphids, caterpillars, beetles, etc.)
Application timing and mode of action studies
Impact on beneficial insect populations and pollinators

Nematicide Trials

Parasitic nematodes, such as root-knot nematodes, pose a serious threat to crops. Our nematicide trials assess:

Soil-applied and seed treatment effectiveness
Longevity of control and nematode population suppression
Impact on root health and crop growth
