Concern over pesticides residues in our food supply continues to be a concern for consumers and government agencies both here at home and around the world. Pacific Agricultural Laboratory has been serving clients with high quality legally defensible analytical data since 1996. Demand for multi-residue pesticides analysis for growers and processors continues to grow as audit requirements for both domestic and export markets increases.
