From first trial to EU market approval — regulatory and field trial support for crop protection startups
Entering the EU North Zone market is complex without a team that knows it. Agrolab supports early-stage crop protection companies through every stage — from proof-of-concept trials to dossier submission.
The support you need, at the stage you're at
Crop protection startups come to Agrolab at different points in their journey. Some need field data first. Some need a regulatory strategy before running a single trial. Most need both — in the right order. We work with you regardless of where you're starting from.
FIELD RESEARCH
Field trials
Field trials designed to support registration — not just prove a concept
- Trial design that generates data you can use for registration from day one
- GEP-compliant efficacy trials for classical, biological, and biostimulant products
- Small-scale or tailored setups for early-stage validation
- Early mode-of-action validation to inform your regulatory strategy
- Drone imaging and digital assessments for precision data collection
REGULATORY CONSULTING
Regulatory consulting
A clear registration pathway — built around your product and timeline
- Regulatory roadmap from day one: what to do now, what to plan for
- EU North Zone expertise across six national regulatory frameworks
- Data gap analysis and preliminary risk assessment
- Dossier strategy aligned with the data your trials will generate
- Authority liaison and coordination of the authorisation process
WHY IT MATTERS
Most startups run trials before they understand what data they actually need
We've seen it consistently: companies invest in field trials to prove their product works, only to find the data can't be used for registration because the study wasn't designed to regulatory standards. Starting with the right structure — GEP-compliant, aligned with your dossier requirements — means every trial counts twice.
