There is now a team of 6 full time research staff with over 153 individual, replicated small plot trial projects in the ground this season.
Velcourt managers benefit from seeing the results of new product performance and technologies before they reach market and get a totally independent, non biased view. Agronomy service clients also directly benefit from this information.
Manufacturers benefit by allowing Velcourt pre market exposure to new products so when they are commercially available there is rapid take-up of the technology.
Velcourt R & D can offer:
-
Demonstration Trials: Large or small sites located anywhere in the UK to demonstrate the effectiveness of new agrochemicals compounds and mixtures, including small plot trials testing multiple concentrations or product comparisons or large tramline farm applied demonstration trials.
-
Geographic coverage: Velcourt Research and Development has unique access to the many farms managed by Velcourt, allowing trials to be located across a range of environments and soil types giving the best test possible of a product's viability.
-
Experience and precision in trial design, interpretation, analysis and project management
-
Wide ranging scientific skills and a close link with practical Farm Management
-
Proven business and research excellence with the ability to deliver
-
Velcourt R&D use EPPO guidelines to ensure project continuity and acceptance of results.
