Agro Chemicals Testing

Every food item we consume is exposed to different sorts of chemicals in the form of pesticides and fertilisers at different stages of its growth. Due to this heavy exposure to chemicals, the food grain retains some harmful substances inside, posing severe health threats.

At ITC Labs, our mission is to carry out reliable chemical testing and analysis to ensure safer food for everyone. Our Agro-chemical testing is a proactive measure to ensure the quality of fertilisers and pesticides before they reach the crop.

Substantial Agro-Chemical Testing Solutions

With over three decades of industry expertise, pan-India presence, and global exposure, we specialise in providing precise, timely, and regulatory-aligned testing for pesticides, fertilisers, micronutrients, and bio-based agri-inputs. Our testing portfolio includes both technical and formulated products, conducted in accordance with BIS, FCO, and international guidelines.

Our services are backed by ISO/IEC 17025 (NABL) Accreditation, BIS recognition, and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) certification. We extend our expertise to support export compliance through EIC, FSSAI, and APEDA-approved testing scopes.

Our Key Agri-Chemical Testing Services

At ITC Labs, our team of analysts and scientists work hand-in-hand to provide reliable chemical testing services. In every service we provide, we ensure safety, reliability and authenticity for farmers, manufacturers, and the entire ecosystem.

Pesticides and Insecticides

From manufacturing to storage to usage, pesticides and insecticides have stringent regulations and rules associated with them. We offer varied tests, analyses, and quality assurance procedures to guarantee safety as well as compliance.

  • Testing for technical and formulated products as per BIS specifications
  • Active Ingredient Content, impurities, and degradation profiling
  • pH, emulsion stability, flash point, and other physical parameters analysis
  • Formulation stability and shelf-life studies
  • Packaging compatibility testing
  • Custom analysis for bio-pesticides and plant-based formulations

Fertilisers

Fertilisers are the best friends of farmers as they protect the crops and help in providing a great yield. At ITC Labs, we have facilities to conduct comprehensive testing of fertilisers as per the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) 1985

Chemical Fertilisers

Macronutrients (N, P, K) for Urea, DAP, SSP, NPK

Micronutrients

Zn, B, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mo

Water-Soluble Fertilisers

EC, nutrient solubility, pH, compatibility

Organic/Bio-fertilisers

Total Organic Carbon, viable counts, moisture

Impurities

Heavy metals, chloride content, free acidity

Physical Analysis

Granule size, hardness, moisture

Residual Solvent and Purity Testing

This is one of the most important tests for agrochemicals as it detects solvents, contaminants, and by-products. Residual solvent tests ensure the chemical integrity and product safety eventually protecting farmers and the environment from toxicity.

At ITC Labs, we have the most advanced machinery, fully facilitated labs and a group of highly experienced scientists to carry out these tests.

Fuel Testing

Fuel testing in agrochemicals ensures optimal equipment performance, reduced emissions, and compliance with global standards. It detects contamination, degradation, and inefficiencies that can harm engines and increase operational costs. Regular testing leads to better fuel usage, lower maintenance, and environmental sustainability.

At ITC Labs, we perform:

Testing of fuels like coal and briquettes for proximate and ultimate analysis Gross Calorific Value (GCV) determination
  • Testing of fuels like coal and briquettes for proximate and ultimate analysis
  • Gross Calorific Value (GCV) determination
Pesticides and Insecticides
Fertilisers​
soil testing

Ensuring Safety and Sustainability

At the core of everything we do, safety and sustainability are pivotal to our operations. We are committed to supporting responsible agricultural practices through rigorous and comprehensive testing solutions that help not just our clients, but the entire ecosystem relish product integrity and regulatory compliance.

We conduct ETO (Ethylene Oxide) and GMO screening to detect harmful residues and verify the genetic integrity of agricultural inputs. Our pesticide residue testing, approved by APEDA, evaluates the presence of residual chemicals in soil, crops, and irrigation water.

Additionally, we offer water testing as per IS 10500 and IS 14543 guidelines, focusing on agricultural usage and irrigation safety. Our labs also perform detailed packaging material evaluations to test the compatibility and safety of containers and sachets used for Agro-chemical products.

We are also fit to carry out routine FSSAI testing for raw materials (RM) and finished goods (FG) that may influence agro-food interfaces.
