Description
Each year, around 7 hectares of potatoes and 10 hectares of cereals are used for nearly one hundred small-plot trials, covering topics such as fertilisation, crop protection, varietal selection, and irrigation. Each trial is managed by dedicated coordinators and aligned with evolving research priorities. The facility also stands out for its integration of digital tools to enhance trial efficiency and data accuracy.
What could be offered through this facility?
The Villers-Saint-Christophe experimental facility can provide services for testing agricultural innovations. This includes evaluating prototypes such as sensors for detecting potato diseases, precision agriculture equipment, or other decision-support tools. It can also support the generation of high-quality datasets to train and validate agronomic or remote-sensing models, thanks to its controlled experimental conditions and robust data collection practices.
