Reverse engineered & reimagined!

Reverse Engineered. Same Science. Smarter Value.

That’s the Life Scientific way: making premium crop protection accessible for all farmers.

OK, but what is reverse engineering?

We rebuild leading branded products (like herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides) molecule for molecule.

Our brilliant scientists here at our high-spec lab on the University College Dublin campus take everything apart: active ingredients, surfactants, stabilisers, the lot.

We figure out exactly how it all works together, then put it back piece by piece to match the original.

The result? Performance that’s identical. Not almost. Not close. Identical.

And no, this isn’t about copying.

Patents were created to protect the time and investment companies put into research by giving them exclusive rights for a while. But when that time’s up, it opens the door for progress. That’s when scientists like us can step in, build on proven ideas, and keep moving things forward.

That’s exactly what we do. We take discoveries that work and make them accessible, so more farmers can farm smarter and get a better return.

It’s also about doing it way better.

Many times, we improve the original.

Like when we combined Prothioconazole and Metconazole into one simple application.

That means stronger protection against wheat ear diseases and fewer passes across your fields.

Because our products are rebuilt exactly, regulators already recognise them as equivalent.

So you get faster approvals, proven performance, and no hidden surprises.

This approach cuts out the big-brand R&D markup while keeping strict safety and efficacy standards in place.

Essentially, reverse engineering gives you reliable, innovative crop protection without compromise.

Today, our range is built on trusted chemistry.

But we’re also building our own biocontrol solutions to keep crops safe and farming moving ahead.

But wait, there's more!

We are expanding our range to include more innovative plant protection solutions, including improved formulations and novel combinations. Our unique knowledge of off-patent science means we can rapidly incorporate new ideas and technologies to ensure our customers have access to the latest and best innovations in the industry.

Our range today is based on chemicals, but we are working on developing complementary biocontrol solutions.

No Secrets, Just Science

No Secrets, Just Science

From the lab to the field, we want you to understand exactly what goes into our products and why it matters to your yield and your bottom line. Some companies hide their formulas like a secret recipe. We are here to put the science right on the table.

At Life Scientific, we believe farmers deserve better — better products, better prices, and better transparency. When you choose us, you're choosing a partner who's honest, innovative, and relentlessly focused on helping you succeed.
