Within Agrosava company there are laboratories for testing the quality of its products, as well as products at the request of clients. Within the laboratory, quality tests of incoming raw materials, intermediate products and final products are carried out, then quality testing of seed material, testing of treated seeds, analysis of plant protection products, etc.
There are four laboratories within our business system:
- Laboratory for testing agrochemicals
- Laboratory for testing seed quality (e–mail: smilosavljevic@agrosava.com and iglumac@agrosava.com; phone: 062/80 41 336).
- Laboratory for development and research
- Laboratory for testing the quality of pet food

Laboratory for testing agrochemicals
LABORATORY FOR TESTING AGROCHEMICALS
The laboratory for testing agrochemicals, separated from other units of Agrosava, is located within a newly built and modernly equipped premises with a surface area of 200 m2.
The basic function of the laboratory
The laboratory, using modern analytical techniques (HPLC, GLC, PSA, etc.) and testing methods (CIPAC; AOAC, SRPS, etc.), controls the quality of Agrosava products. In order for the product to be of appropriate quality, the laboratory monitors all stages of product creation that affect quality. Laboratory employees analyze the necessary parameters within the scope of incoming, process and final control.
Laboratory equipment
The laboratory is equipped with modern analytical instruments from leading global manufacturers.
It has:
- Several liquid (HPLC/DAD; UV/VIS) and gas chromatographs (GC)
- TOC analyzer
- Granulometer
- KF titrator
- FT-IR spectrometer
- Potentiometric titrator
- Viscometer
- Tensometer
- A large number of “small” devices for necessary physical and chemical tests.
Laboratory employees
Experienced and professional staff work at the laboratory: chemists, physical chemists and laboratory technicians. They perform analyzes efficiently and economically and report test results in a timely manner.
What does the laboratory do?
In addition to physical chemistry analyzes of pesticides, plant protection and nutrition, the laboratory deals with the invention and development of analytical methods for the purposes of improving existing ones, as well as the development of new formulations.
For this reason, domestic and foreign clients, who have confidence in our work, use the services of our laboratory. These are, first of all, analyzes of the content of active substances in different products, but also, something we are particularly proud of, analyzes of the coverage of treated seeds, i.e., the “seed loading test“.

Laboratory for development and research
LABORATORY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH
A necessary process for Agrosava’s continuous development strategy is the formulation and introduction into production of new products. For this reason, there is a Laboratory for Research and Development within the Development sector of Agrosava.
The basic function of the laboratory
The laboratory for research and development performs:
- Development and testing of new formulations
- Improvements to existing products
- Improvements in technological procedures, which are used in the production process
- Improvements in the development of new technological solutions
We are committed to the introduction of new technologies, innovation and cooperation with scientific institutions.
Laboratory staff
Behind every Agrosava product is the research work of technologists and chemical technicians employed at the laboratory.
Laboratory equipment
State-of-the-art equipment allows us to formulate and monitor the quality of our products.
Product formulation
We formulate all types of liquid (EC, SL, SC, OD, EW and ME), granular (SG, WDG) and powder plant protection agents (WP and SP). The research and development laboratory formulates up to 20 new products each year.
Laboratory for testing the quality of pet food
LABORATORY FOR TESTING THE QUALITY OF PET FOOD
Nothing is more important for AGROSAVA than safe products.
Healthy food means safe food for dogs and cats.
Pet owners set high standards when it comes to the food that “man’s best friends” eat.
We follow the wishes of owners and pets, which is why the standards of our production are at the highest level.
Industry leading food safety system
By applying scientific and technological advances, we have developed a comprehensive food safety system.
We constantly monitor and test our raw materials, as well as our production process, environment and finished products.
Our manufacturing facility follows a comprehensive, industry-leading food safety system, including the HACCP program (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). It is followed by strict but also Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) which ensure that our food is made to the highest standards.
The pet food quality testing laboratory monitors and tests every part of the production process:
- Pre-production
- Production
- Post production
Laboratory tests
We follow and guide:
- 1340 mycotoxin tests per week
- More than 1600 microbiological tests per week
- 225 tests of oxidative stability of fats and oils on a monthly basis
- More than 7,500 nutritional ingredient tests per month
- More than 56000 finished product testing once a month
- More than 18 hours of annual training per employee
- More than 600 security assessments annually
