NTO Field

Non target arthropods are soil, above ground and foliar invertebrates that represent no threat to a particular crop.

 

Important groups of the non target arthropods have an essential role in ecosystems as pest controllers, pollinators, detrivores and saprophages.  Eco-toxicological data are required to confirm the impact on non-target species. The annexes II and III of directive 91/414/EEC set the data requirements.

We offer semi-field and field tests including predatory mite, litterbag, earthworm field trials, full fauna and micro-arthropod trials.
