Staphyt's BioTeam: a team entirely dedicated to the study of biostimulants and biopesticides

BioTeam

Properties, efficacy and safety of your biological products

Staphyt is a pioneering service provider in supporting its clients in the study of biopesticides and biostimulants. In 2011, a team, named the BioTeam, and entirely dedicated to this sector was formed by bringing together agronomists, scientists and regulatory experts specializing in these products.

Since then, Staphyt has contributed to the development of numerous products and active substances such as natural extracts, microbial agents and semio-chemicals, representing the main plant protection and nutrition products on the market today.

From A to Z, the uniqueness of the Staphyt offer

A single project manager coordinates your project in close collaboration with all the experts involved. We support you according to your needs, from the definition of the regulatory strategy and the first phases of development, to the tests of efficacy, risk assessment until the drafting and submission of your registration dossier.

Tests under controlled conditions

Our combined offer of trials under controlled conditions and field trials help you characterise your product, understand its mode of action, assess the associated risks and ultimately the benefits of the product in various pedoclimatic environments depending on claimed activities and uses.
Our experts in plant physiology and phytopathology support you with preliminary screening work and tests in pots, in greenhouses or in growth chambers. We test a wide variety of biocontrol and biostimulation substances and products.

Substance screening
Determination of resistance to abiotic stress
Evaluation of a possible elicitor effect
In vitro efficacy test
Biological compatibility tests
Dose range finding

Field trials

Due to the nature and mode of action of biological products, testing these products requires specific expertise for the design of suitable test protocols and high-performance tests in the field. We help you identify the best product positioning, prove the efficacy of the solution and enforce usage claims within a fully optimized IPM program (with and without conventional products depending on usage).

The success of our field trials is based on:

A choice of suitable sites and cultivar
An experimental device adapted to the type of product tested
Optimized crop management
Strict management of crop inputs and precise monitoring of parasite pressure and/or artificial contamination of the pathogen
Specific equipment for all types of application including seed and tuber treatments
Observations and notations adapted to the targeted claims
Particular importance given to trials of practical value (farmer practices and equipment)

GLP laboratory analyses

In our laboratories, we carry out, under GLP, all the analyses to characterise the substances and assess their impact and their fate in the environment. We develop and validate analytical methods for pure substances and UVCB products (Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials).

Properties of substances (Phys-chem, analytical method definition, 5-batch analysis)
Storage stability
Biodegradability, bioaccumulation
Environmental fate studies
Terrestrial and aquatic ecotoxicology studies

Consulting in regulatory affairs

Thanks to an excellent understanding of possible marketing strategies, our team of regulatory consultants can be of major support in helping you define your marketing strategy and identify the budget that your project may represent. Our team has direct experience of working closely with regulatory authorities to examine, beyond the legal texts, the data needs and thus better identify the expectations of the authorities concerning these innovative products.
