Efficacy tests

SURfaPLUS is specialised in quick and accurate tests under controlled conditions (climate chambers and greenhouses) to demonstrate the potential value of adjuvants and formulations. These tests can be quite useful at the stage of development and selection of prototypes. In addition to efficacy tests we also conduct phytotoxicity tests (see last rows in the table) and wetting plus uptake studies.The tests are conducted in collaboration with our research partners Botany and Plant Research International, both in the Netherlands.

Our customer are producers and suppliers of adjuvants and producers of active ingredients. When interested in more information or tariffs, please contact Hans de Ruiter.

Please scroll through the page to see all tests.
