Bioassay

We develop and conduct controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of:

  • Biostimulants
  • Organic Fertilizers
  • Beneficial Microorganisms


Bioassays provide a scientifically rigorous preliminary assessment before field trials, enabling the evaluation of product efficacy under controlled conditions.

Greenhouse and field trials
  • High-Throughput Phenotyping
  • Non-destructive Monitoring of Morphophysiological Parameters Using 3D Scanners and Portable Instruments


We monitor plant growth, abiotic stress responses, yield, and quality by integrating agronomic and physiological data.

Biochemical and Multi-Omics Analyses

Equipped laboratories for:

  • Physicochemical Analyses
  • Biological Assessments


Advanced Metabolomics Analyses for:

  • Understanding Product Modes of Action
  • Supporting Scientific Claims
  • Strengthening Regulatory Dossiers
Environmental Impact Assessment (LCA)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to measure:

  • Environmental Impact of Products
  • Sustainability of Production Processes
  • Comparison with Conventional Solutions
Preparation of Technical Reports for EU Registration
