We’re pleased to announce that SGS in Kenya can now offer more extensive crop protection trial services.

In a recent inspection by the Kenyan Pest Controls Product Board, SGS Kenya further extended its accreditation to support more extensive regulatory efficacy and residue testing in field trials. The reaccreditation is valid for three years from April 2022.

SGS’s Kenyan team can now assist with:

• Efficacy trials for fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and nematicides: analyzing the effectiveness against pests, diseases and weeds, in addition to monitoring for adverse phytotoxic reactions on the following crops and ornamentals: vegetables, roses, wheat, maize/corn, barley, sorghum, coffee and tobacco. 
• Residue trials for fungicides, insecticides and herbicides: Residue trials assess product safety for food and feed and are the basis for proper setting of maximum residue levels. GLP certification is valid for ensuring product safety for food and feed with the following crops: wheat, maize/corn and vegetables.
