How Integration of Field Trials and Residue Analytics Teams Optimized Study Completion Times - Crop Protection Case Study

As part of a regulatory submission, we were approached by a European company who had been asked by regulators to supply additional operator exposure data. The substance under investigation contained both a pesticide and growth inhibitor, which is applied as a dust to stored potatoes. The mode of application meant existing models were inappropriate, so a field trial and residue analysis were both necessary to monitor the specific application method. The timeline for running the trial and analyzing data to meet a regulatory deadline was short - around six months.
