NTO Laboratory
"We are experienced in conducting laboratory and extended laboratory studies"
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.
Ecotoxicological effects of plant protection products on non target organisms are tested following the most recent guidelines. We are experienced in conducting laboratory and extended laboratory studies with organisms like parasitic wasps, predatory mites, lacewing, honey bee and ladybug beetle and more as well as soil organisms such as earthworms, several soil inhabiting arthropod species including micro-arthropods.
Non target organism’s laboratory testing includes acute and aged residue studies. 
Non target plants are tested in the greenhouse according to OECD 208 and 227.
