Agrochemical Research and Development in the 21st Century: Bloom or Bust

Willie Harrison

The Automation Partnership, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Economic, environmental, and political issues arising in the last two decades have changed agricultural practice worldwide. While the agrochemical market has diminished, time and cost of R & D and regulatory restrictions have increased, thereby reducing profit margins dramatically. This has led to a change of strategy from screening whole organisms to screening diverse compounds, with high-throughput screening processes similar to those used in drug discovery. For large-scale high-throughput screening to efficiently facilitate storage, retrieval, preparation and tracking of compounds, the sample management process needs to be highly automated. The introduction of modern automated technology will help to address the problems faced by the agrochemical industry.
