Planet
By increasing the precision of crop production and protection strategies, we are only using the chemicals we need to benefit the environment and biodiversity.
People
Haygrove Chrysalis is people-obsessed, aiming to provide the best possible customer service to UK horticulture, with rapid turnaround of analyses.
Profit
By increasing strategic precision and being people-orientated, we are additionally driving profit.
Haygrove Chrysalis would be my first choice provider for sending samples for all entomological assessments because of the speed of turnaround for results and the reliability of the results. Marco provides a great service with his professionalism and knowledge on the species and also providing industry knowledge on the control measures available. The pricing is very competitive too.
