AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND TESTING
Envaserv Research Consult can assist your company or organisation to perform testing, research, certification, and inspection of your agriculture and farming activities, products, standards, specifications including:
Precision Agriculture
We are equipped with state-of-the art equipment and technology for in-situ and off-site analysis of agriculture, its produce/products and the environment in context (farmlands). This modern equipment involves the use of information technology to achieve a site specific management and variability within the various agricultural fields. However, the precision agriculture equipment and software provide a site-specific basis to reduce waste, to increase profit in the farming industry, effective maintenance of the quality of the environment and improve the use-efficiency of agricultural inputs including fertiliser application.
We can provide precision agricultural research services in:
- Data collection including;
- Identifying geographical locations of sampling areas using remote sensing and GIS
- Soil sampling
- Pest scanning
- Yield monitoring
- Soil moisture and crop growth monitoring
- Variability analysis of soil and crop characteristics
- Effective and precise management decisions
- Best farming practices with regards to variable rates of pesticide application, irrigation, fertiliser application and seeding/planting
Agro Bioterrorism Response Service
We specialise in concrete ways to prevent and respond to the deliberate and unintentional release of biological agents and toxic substances and their adverse effects on plants, animals, humans and the environment at large. We tackle both the point and non-point possible delivery sources of the toxic and biological agents from vectors or sprayers to issues of inversion and dilution and highly modified crop duster / rooftop dispersion.
Generally, our Prevention and Response procedures are categorised into:
- Bio and Food Security Preparedness: Co-ordination with local, regional agencies, private and government laboratories, agriculture and food industries.
- Domestic Security: Improving information, intelligence and technology capability, enhancing public health capacity and bioterrorism defences.
We further provide microbiological testing of food and animal feeding stuffs such as Clostridium, presumptive Bacillus cereus, coagulase-positive staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus and other species), coliforms, and colony-count technique.
