Field trials

In close distance to the venue (about 20 km) we offer the possibility to demonstrate adjuvant performance at the field station of Saaten-Union. This includes adjuvant (formulation) effects with herbicides on weed control (natural or seeded weeds), and plant compatibility (crop selectivity), and adjuvant combinations with fertilizers . The impact of water volume, water quality or application technique (nozzle) or other particular test conditions might be considered as well. Please contact Katja Bringe for any question related to the field trials.
