Description
The farm has been established for the purpose of organising, coordinating and implementing, through the introduction of innovative technologies, several services in support of applied research programs. The Agricultural and Livestock Farm, with an extension of 49 hectares, has facilities for cultivation, research and teaching. It is equipped with an office building, a conference hall, a small canteen and a guesthouse with 12 furnished double rooms.
The farm includes a modern greenhouse facility consisting of three independent compartments made of steel and glass and provided with heating and a centralised fertigation system. A weather station and an advanced sensor network consent to continuously monitor the soil-plant-atmosphere system in response to environmental and technical variables.
The farm is located in Bellizzi (SA), about 70km from the Department of Agriculture, along the SS 18, in the Pontocagnano-Battipaglia district, and falls within the Destra Sele Water District.
