AgroITC Innovation and Research Centre
It is the only private Agro Innovation and Research Centre of its kind in the Baltics to be awarded an international quality certificate. It confirms that AgroITC’s field tests and analyses are accurate, reliable and comparable to those carried out by scientific institutions. In total, this scientific unit oversees more than 3,000 test plots where a wide range of agronomic research is carried out.
Activities
Precision field research
Laboratory experiments
Production tests
AgroITC carries out precision field trials both on its own farms and on farmers’ farms.
The Innovation and Research Centre in Babtus, Kaunas district, has more than 2,000 field test plots. They carry out a wide range of trials with different varieties and plant nutrition and protection programmes. More than 1,000 test plots are being tested in different regions of the country, on farms belonging to the Agrokoncerns group of companies as well as on partner farms.
Cultures studied
- Winter rapeseed
- Winter and summer wheat
- Summer barley
- Peas
- Beans
Testing that’s being carried out
- Effectiveness of herbicides and fungicides against harmful organisms using different plant protection products, at different times and spray rates
- Influence of growth regulators on plant biometrics
- Effects of bulk fertilisers and foliar fertilisation on the productivity of field crops
- The overwintering, disease susceptibility and productivity of field crop varieties
The aim of all these trials is to test the recommendations made and to further improve crop production technologies to make them even more efficient, helping farmers to produce healthy and high quality crops
