Research services for crop field tests
Customer benefits
We help our clients to develop diverse, sustainable and resource-efficient production systems. Our research addresses biological, technological, financial and ecological perspectives in field crop production. In addition, our research activities intersect with various themes related to climate change mitigation and prevention, as well as risk management. We help our clients to produce reliable results and different, optional solutions for various questions related to field crop production.
Services
The starting point for our range of services is always the client’s needs. We identify client needs together and customise services according to each client’s requests. Services may range from a separate field or laboratory test to a large-scale series of tests conducted in different locations. If necessary, we conduct tests on fields owned by our clients or their partners.
Examples of our services:
- Planning and implementation of field and greenhouse tests
- Statistical analysis of research results and interpreting them for the client
- Expert estimates and literature reviews
Application areas
- The impact of fertilisation on harvest levels and nutrient intake
- A range of methods for soil improvement, nutrient management and carbon sequestration
- The testing of older native varieties, such as spelt and native barley, according to client needs
The range of varieties tested is broad. In addition to conventional species (such as cereals, grasses, oil crops, peas and broad beans), we test different special crops, such as caraway, buckwheat and woad. We also help our clients to further process and productise crops.
