EXECUTION OF WORK

Phytest Hispania S.L. schedules its work planning as far in advance as it has the protocols provided by the clients. From that moment, we plan all the necessary operations to conduct the trials under the most favorable conditions, optimizing the times and ensuring the achievement of the objectives.

In Phytest Hispania we understand that the information transfer must be agile and fluid, so that our clients are informed at all times about the progress of their studies.

WORKING PROCEDURE – EVALUATION METHODS OF THE PROJECT

• Evaluation of the proposed protocol in accordance with the client.
• Determination of the most suitable execution timings.
• Apropriate selection of the test fields.
• Verification of the necessary resources.
• Availability of the products/seeds to be tested.

With the start up of each project, the work protocols and procedures best suited to the intended goals are established.

For the monitoring and evaluation of the treatments under study, the assessment methods used will be those proposed in the operational protocols provided by our clients, working in accordance with EPPO guidelines or relevant CEN standard. We can also draft your protocol using our own format as we are also ready to adapt ourselves to unusual types of trials not covered by the guidelines.

DATA AND FINAL REPORTS

Our data recording and processing platform will default to the latest version of the standard ARM® software, although we can also adapt to your own customized program or any other platform specific to your company. The statistical analysis of the data may be selected by our technicians or according to your criteria. At the client´s request, reports can be generated in either Spanish or English.
