Research & Development
Innovation Backed by Science, Validated by Global Expertise
At GroPro, Research & Development is the core of who we are. Our R&D philosophy is built on three pillars: scientific rigor, industry collaboration, and regulatory transparency. Every product we bring to market is designed through advanced biological science, validated through independent testing, and aligned with the highest global standards for safety, sustainability, and performance.
Driving Industry Transparency and Leadership
Active Members of BPIA, TFI, and IBMA
GroPro is a committed member of the Biological Products Industry Alliance (BPIA), the Fertilizer Institute (TFI), and the International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association (IBMA). These memberships place GroPro at the forefront of global dialogue on biological innovation, regulatory modernization, and harmonized standards.
Through these organizations, we actively:
- Support legislation that promotes clarity, transparency, and integrity in the biological industry
- Advocate for regulatory frameworks that differentiate true biological innovation from unverified market claims
- Engage with international committees to improve data requirements, risk assessment, and stewardship practices
- Contribute to global efforts to increase safety, quality, and scientific validation across the industry
Scientific Rigor Through Complete Ecotoxicology Programs
GroPro performs comprehensive ecotoxicology and safety studies on all materials, ensuring every technology meets the highest standards for environmental and human safety.
Our full ecotoxicology testing includes:
- Acute and chronic toxicity
- Dermal, oral, and inhalation profiles
- Avian, aquatic, and pollinator studies
- Genotoxicity and mutagenicity testing
- Eye and skin irritation screening
- Beneficial insect and soil organism impact assessments
We work only with certified international CRO laboratories, ensuring all studies meet EPA, OECD, EU, and global guideline expectations.
Advanced Research Platforms and Technology Development
Our scientific development integrates:
- Absolute botanical actives
- Precision delivery systems

Strategic University Partnerships
GroPro collaborates with leading universities across the United States and internationally to validate product performance, improve application strategies, and enhance our understanding of plant–soil–microbe interactions.
Independent CRO Collaboration
GroPro invests heavily in third-party Contract Research Organizations (CROs) worldwide. These independent groups provide grower-level validation and commercial-scale field results in multiple climates and geographies.
Unmatched Commitment to Validation
Biological innovation must be proven, not assumed. This ensures our technologies consistently deliver the efficacy, value, and reliability growers expect—season after season.
