AECI Plant Health remains dedicated to developing more effective products that enable growers to unlock nature’s potential in a sustainable manner.
Our 2 ha Research Farm west of Bapsfontein serves as one of the vital links in this process.
The past winter season saw AECI Plant Health complete about 20 agrochemical product registration trials at the facility, with the summer programme including 45 registration trials.
Many of the trials conducted at our research facility allow for better product knowledge and label extensions and are conducted on are maize, sorghum, soybeans, groundnut, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, cucurbits and brassicas.
The site has two tunnels where pot trials are conducted. There are also two hydroponic tunnels used to test plant nutrition products.
The valuable facility has been generating data for more than 20 years. Not only has this investment enabled AECI Plant Health to build on the intellectual property of our in-house products and develop new products but also offer an effective marketing tool, where our crop advisors, technical advisors and others can visit the site to view our research work.
