Plant Pathology Laboratory
The Plant Pathology Laboratory conducts bio-efficacy trials on over 20 plant pathogens, ensuring year-round availability for controlled product testing. Equipped with advanced instruments, the lab contributes to sustainable crop protection solutions.
The formulation development laboratory designs and optimizes innovative product formulations for safe, effective, and sustainable delivery of active ingredients. Key activities include exploring various formulation types, reducing solvent use, and integrating adjuvants for improved efficacy and crop safety.
Process Development Laboratory
Process R&D focuses on developing safe, efficient, and scalable manufacturing processes for active ingredients and intermediates. The team works on route selection, process optimization, and cost-effective scale-up while ensuring product quality and yield.
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 centre in located in Tasrauli village Ambala, Haryana, with the land span of 2.5 acres. This research station is equipped with advance agriculture infrastructure like net house, Glasshouse, Drip irrigation system and office step for its scientists.
2. Aurangabad Research Farm: This research station is in Village, Sawangi, Ch. Sambhabjinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra, farm spreads within the area of 3 acres. This research farm is equipped with Drip Irrigation, Sprinkler irrigation, 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.
