Our Research And Development Laboratories
Entomology Laboratory
The entomology laboratory is dedicated to conduct in-house bio-efficacy studies of various insecticides on pests which enables us to carry out round the year evaluation of new product development though continuous bio-assay trials. Our entomology laboratory maintains insect culture, which are reared within the laboratory on artificial diet allowing precise bio-efficacy testing of insecticides and thereby supporting the development of effective and reliable pest management strategies. It enables us to carry out different type of studies required for insecticide development such as screening of various combinations, standardisation of optimum dose, bio-assay evaluation on products on various pests. By integrating artificial diet-based rearing with systematic bioassays, our entomology laboratory ensures scientifically sound evaluation of insecticides and contributes to the development
of sustainable pest control solutions.
Plant Pathology Laboratory
The plant pathology laboratory is dedicated to carry out bio-efficacy trials on various plant pathogens. In this laboratory, we work on various different plant pathogens, ensuring extensive testing on these pathogens, which are the disease causal organism across multiple crops in the field condition. We maintain 20 plant pathogen species which are collected from field, isolated, sub-culture and then continuously maintained on our respective growth medias, to ensure the availability of pathogen throughout the year thereby ensuring product testing is in controlled 264 conditions. This laboratory is equipped with instruments such as laminar airflow, autoclave, bod incubator, microscopes, hot air oven. Our plant pathology laboratory ensures reliable results and contributes significantly to developing sustainable crop protection solutions.
Process Development Laboratory
Process R&D is dedicated to developing safe, efficient, and scalable manufacturing processes for active ingredients and intermediates. Activities focus on route selection, process optimization, and cost-effective scaleup while ensuring consistent product quality and yield. Our team is involved in identifying greener and sustainable synthetic pathways, minimizing waste, reducing solvent consumption, and improving energy efficiency in line with environmental and regulatory standards. Process R&D also involves developing robust purification and crystallization techniques, impurity profiling, and safety assessments to ensure regulatory compliance. Scale up studies and technology transfer to commercial manufacturing sites are integral steps, ensuring that laboratory processes are translated into reliable, large-scale production. Overall, process R&D plays a vital role in enhancing manufacturing efficiency, ensuring product consistency, and supporting the sustainable production of Technicals manufacturing. To date we have commercialized seven agrochemical molecules in our technical manufacturing plant.
Research Farms Of R&D Agriculture
Parijat has established 2 research farms to validate laboratory findings under actual field scenarios.
- Kshitij Research Farm: This research farm in located in Tasrauli village, Ambala, Haryana, India, and spans 2.50 acres. It is equipped with agriculture infrastructure like net house, glasshouse, and drip irrigation system. This research farm is equipped to carry out various kind of insecticide, fungicide, herbicide and biostimulant trials. Primary findings from this farm enable us to understand the product bio-efficacy at field condition and enable us to carry out multilocation trials for the validation of product efficacy
2. Aurangabad Research Farm: This research farm is located in Sawangi village, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, India spans 3.00 acres. This research farm is equipped with drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and a fully dedicated office for the team.
Physical And Chemical Testing Laboratory
Our physical and chemical testing laboratory is intended to ensure that products meet regulatory standards and perform effectively under field conditions. Key activities include determining parameters such as appearance, color, odor, pH, density, viscosity and moisture content, along with testing particle size distribution, suspensibility, wettability, and stability depending on the formulation type. These tests are critical for assessing
formulation stability, product handling, and application characteristics. By simulating practical usage conditions, physical-chemical testing helps verify batch-to-batch consistency, identify deviations, and ensure compliance with FAO/WHO specifications, BIS, CIPAC methods, and other regulatory guidelines. This rigorous testing protocol supports product reliability, farmer safety, and environmental sustainability, forming a cornerstone of
agrochemical quality assurance. This laboratory is equipped with top class instruments including HPLC, GC, 264 LCMS, particle size analyzer, weighing balance at micrograms, to fulfil testing of physical-chemical properties of the produced batches.
Formulation Development Laboratory
Formulation development laboratory focuses on designing, optimizing, and developing Innovative Product formulations that ensure safe, effective, and sustainable delivery of active ingredients. Key activities include exploring different formulation types such as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, water-dispersible granules, microemulsions, and controlled-release systems to enhance product stability, bioavailability, and field performance. Our formulation development laboratory also emphasizes on reducing solvent use, developing eco-friendly carriers, and integrating adjuvants or safeners for improved efficacy and crop safety. Extensive laboratory evaluations, pilot-scale trials, and field testing are carried out to validate stability, shelf-life, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. This laboratory plays a critical role in translating innovative chemistry into user-friendly, high-performance, and sustainable products for customers satisfactions.
Packaging Development Laboratory
Packaging development lab plays a vital role in ensuring product stability, safety, and ease of handling throughout its shelf life. It involves selecting appropriate materials such as HDPE bottles, Co-Ex bottles, PET bottles, laminated pouches, metal cans, or bulk containers that are chemically compatible with the formulation and resistant to leakage, corrosion, and environmental stress. Our development activities focus on designing user-friendly packs that provide accurate dosing, tamper evidence, and safe disposal options while meeting regulatory and sustainability requirements. Quality control of packaging includes rigorous testing for container integrity, sealing strength, permeability, stress cracking, drop resistance, and compatibility with the product under varying storage conditions. These controls ensure that packaging preserves product quality, protects users, facilitates transportation, and minimizes environmental impact. Overall, robust packaging development and quality control are integral to delivering safe, effective, and sustainable agrochemical products to our customers. Our las is also equipped with top class instruments like busting strengthen, stack load testing etc to fulfill all the required parameters of testing and during packaging development.
