Tell Us About Your Timing Requirements

Product tests will likely have a shorter testing period, over a plant, which requires feedback over a growing season. Things to consider with the test timing include;

  • Can it be tested anytime of the year?

  • Does it need to be tested in-season?

  • Does it require a full growing season to receive feedback?

  • If launching a new product, when do you require a final decision for your marketing plans?

Does your product or plant have specific regional testing requirements?

Shipping Requirements

This program requires a minimum of 25 members to test your product. Please note that all products and plants must be drop shipped to the members directly with all freight charges prepaid by the applicant.
