SynTech’s NTP services include:

  • Seedling emergence and growth test (OECD 208 and OCSPP 850.4100)
  • Vegetative vigor test (OECD 227 and OCSPP 850.4150)
  • Early seedling growth toxicity test (OCSPP 850.4230)
  • NTP screens

Testing is conducted in climate-controlled greenhouses on our Europe and USA sites. Higher tier testing (field studies) are conducted on our field stations worldwide.

Non-Target Plants (weeds) and seeds

Studies are conducted on crops or weeds for emergence, dry weight, height, mortality and phytotoxicity. Reproduction (flowering, seed production and seed germination) can also be assessed.

The NTP benches can be treated with an automated track sprayer, have automated irrigation and are mobile, minimizing spatial differences during the studies.
