LABNET Research & Development

At LABNET, research is more than a background function—it's a core pillar of how we serve the horticulture industry. Our R&D program is dedicated to advancing plant science through independent investigation, collaborative studies, and applied testing services that bridge the gap between discovery and real-world results. Whether it’s validating new products, optimizing growing media, or investigating emerging plant health issues, we approach every research initiative with scientific rigor and environmental responsibility.

We work closely with input manufacturers, growers, and universities to develop and refine testing methods that address today’s most pressing challenges in sustainable agriculture. From soil and water quality studies to nutrient efficiency trials and disease incidence tracking, our research supports improved decision-making across all stages of production. Our lab is equipped with the necessary instrumentation and expertise to conduct controlled bench-scale experiments, monitor long-term trends, and perform comparative product evaluations.

Each research project at LABNET is approached with precision: we design trials carefully, collect and analyze data under controlled conditions, and present the results in a clear and actionable format. Our team brings decades of combined experience in plant science, agronomy, and environmental chemistry to every project. For input developers, we offer an independent testing environment to support product registration, marketing claims, or formulation improvement. For growers and consultants, our R&D services help validate field observations with real data, strengthening both confidence and outcomes.

LABNET is also committed to contributing to the broader scientific community. When appropriate, we partner with institutions and fellow laboratories on shared studies and pilot programs. By staying current with industry trends, regulatory updates, and academic developments, we ensure that our research not only meets today’s needs but also anticipates tomorrow’s.

Whether you’re developing a new formulation, evaluating crop response, or troubleshooting a complex issue, LABNET offers a research environment built on integrity, accuracy, and collaboration. To discuss a custom research plan or trial project, please contact our team to schedule a consultation.
