Hands-on advisory services

Circular Inputs

• Assess the agricultural application potential of a recovered or waste-derived material

• Create or assist with product R&D

• Navigate product stewardship and recycled content certification

• Develop a risk assessment or safety dossier for a novel input

• Identify regulatory and commercial pathways for circular nutrient products

What have we helped clients answer?

• "How do we realise the value in our byproduct or waste stream?"

• "Who might be interested in taking our byproduct, and what would they need to know?"

• "Is this recovered material safe to apply to agricultural land?"

• "What certification or accreditation pathway exists for a product like ours?"

• "How do we turn a regulatory obligation (waste disposal) into a commercial opportunity?"

Formulation R&D

Technical development of liquid and solid agri-input products.

• Develop a new fertiliser or biostimulant from concept to finished product

• Optimise an existing formulation for stability, efficacy, or cost

• Identify and characterise active ingredients from natural or recycled sources

• Assess compatibility of tank-mix components

What have we helped clients answer?

• "Our product is separating on the shelf — what's going wrong and how do we fix it?"

• "What's actually in this competitor product, and can we make something equivalent?"

• "Can we reformulate this to reduce cost without losing efficacy?"

• "Will these two products cause issues if a grower tank-mixes them?"

• "What's the highest analysis our product can reach?"

Regulatory Affairs

Registration, certification, and compliance submissions.

• Product registration with the APVMA

  • Extend or vary the use pattern of an existing registered product

  • Review and compare potential reference products for data leveraging

  • Respond to APVMA queries or notices of proposed decisions

• Facilitate Organic certification of businesses and inputs

  • Review ingredient and supply chain documentation for organic compliance

  • Prepare and submit certification applications

  • Identify compliant alternative ingredients or suppliers

What have we helped clients answer?

• "Can we register this product, and what data would we actually need?"

• "Is there a faster pathway to registration using an existing product as a reference?"

• "APVMA has proposed to refuse our application — what are our options?"

• "We want to add a new crop or rate to our label — what's involved?"

• "What do we need to do to get our product certified organic?"

• "What changes do we need to make to get our Allowed Input across the line?"

• "What documents do we need to ask our supplier for?"

• "Is this ingredient permissible under our certifier's standards?"

Analytical Coordination

Lab scoping, data interpretation, and quality assurance.

• Commission and manage third-party analytical testing

• Interpret complex chemical, soil, or biological data

• Identify gaps in an existing analytical dataset

• Resolve discrepancies between lab results and label claims

What have we helped clients answer?

• "Which lab should we use, and what tests do we actually need?"

• "Our results don't match our label claim — what's going on?"

• "We've got a pile of data from our contract lab — what does it mean?"

• "How do we know if our analytical method is fit for purpose?"

• "There's a contaminant in our results — is it a problem, and where did it come from?"

Literature Review

Independent scientific review to support product development, regulatory submissions, and investment decisions.

• Review peer-reviewed literature on active ingredients, modes of action, and efficacy

• Assess ecotoxicology and human safety data to support regulatory submissions or risk assessments

• Identify and critically evaluate existing datasets for data gaps or inconsistencies

• Source and assess international regulatory decisions for local relevance

• Prepare technical summaries suitable for APVMA submissions, investor decks, or internal R&D strategy

• Benchmark a product or ingredient against the published scientific consensus

• Review claimed modes of action for biological or biostimulant products

• Assess novel or recovered-material inputs against existing safety and efficacy literature

What have we helped clients answer?

• "Is there published evidence that this ingredient actually does what is claimed?"

• "What does the international regulatory literature say about the safety of this compound?"

• "We've had a data gap flagged by the APVMA — is there published data we can draw on?"

• "Our competitor is making efficacy claims we think are unsupported — what does the science actually say?"

• "We're investing in this product — what does the independent literature say about its potential?"

Trial Design and Reporting

Trial design, analysis, and honest reporting.

• Design robust field trials for new or existing products

• Analyse and interpret data from completed trials

• Prepare reports suitable for a range of stakeholders

• Integrate market intelligence and product placement into trial reporting

What have we helped clients answer?

• "How can we measure our biostimulant's effect on soil health?"

• "How do we determine the water-saving potential of this soil amendment?"

• "We ran a trial last season — can you turn the data into something we can show growers?"

• "How many replicates do we actually need for statistical significance?"

• "Our trial showed a yield response but we're not sure if it's real — how do we interpret it?"
