PSD officially recognised efficacy testing organisation

 

As a Pesticide Safety Directorate (PSD) ‘Officially Recognised’ efficacy testing organisation, Forest Research is able to carry out Quality Assured field trials of new and existing pesticides under strictly controlled environmental conditions, following the requirements of Good Experimental Practice (GEP).

Our research nursery at Headley provides controlled conditions with over 6 ha of flat free-draining soil with full irrigation, flexible power supplies and deer and rabbit fencing, while our Technical Services Unit staff are highly skilled with many years experience of managing complex efficacy trials in a wide variety of forest locations throughout the country.
