From Evaluation to Field Positioning: Discover the Staphyt Plant Care Laboratory!
With over 30 years of expertise in phytopathology, our Plant Care laboratory based in Martillac (France) is dedicated to developing, characterizing, and evaluating your plant protection products, whether they are conventional, biocontrols, or plant defense stimulators (elicitors).
From selecting your initial formulations to understanding their exact mode of action and optimizing their application, our scientific team offers standardized or fully customized protocols to support every stage of your R&D process.
Here is how our experimental capabilities can accelerate your product development:
🧪 Formulation Screening: Rapidly identify the most promising candidates with in vitro and in vivo preliminary trials (Petri dish radial growth inhibition, microplate liquid assays, and leaf disc efficacy tests).
🪴 In Planta Efficacy: Confirm biological performance under realistic conditions. We help you compare formulations, define optimal dose rates, and fine-tune application schedules across diverse plant/pathogen combinations.
🌿 Phytotoxicity Assessment: Evaluate crop tolerance and selectivity to ensure product safety and define optimal use conditions.
🧬 Mode of Action (MoA) Characterization: Uncover exactly how your product works. We test for preventive vs. curative effects, systemic or translaminar mobility, spore germination inhibition, and direct impacts on the pathogen.
💧 Rainfastness (Wash-off Resistance): Evaluate the persistence and robustness of your solutions after simulated rainfall exposure.
🚿 Spray Quality & Optimization: Efficacy relies heavily on application. We test physical and chemical compatibility (static and dynamic), study the influence of adjuvants, and evaluate droplet retention, spreading, and leaf surface coverage.
Transform your early-stage innovations into high-performing, market-ready solutions!
