Catalogue of Infrastructures and Facilities

The 10 hectares cultivated consist of a sequence of different techniques for irrigation, insect control, and soil nutrition, with the aim of testing the best solutions in terms of productivity and environmental impact. There is also a 300-square-metre greenhouse for physiology and genetics projects related to grasses with the goal of studying new precision irrigation and fertilisation techniques.

Facility

23 hectares of experimental farm

An area of 23 hectares of arable land, with 2 hectares dedicated to agricultural experimentation, which can be further developed and optimised for new farming techniques or other purposes.

Facility

Greenhouse

The greenhouse has a structure and features that can be modified to meet specific experimental needs, allowing for the examination of environmental variables and agricultural practices under controlled conditions.

Facility

Soil Quality Analysis Laboratory

An equipped laboratory for performing common measurements, including moisture, dry matter, and other essential analyses to assess soil quality and optimise agricultural practices.

Facility

Tilting platform 4x6m

An inclined test bench platform designed to test and measure vehicle stability, allowing the evaluation of performance on various slopes and terrain conditions

Facility

Tractor ROPS Testing Laboratory

A specialised and equipped laboratory for conducting resistance tests on agricultural vehicle protection structures to ensure their effectiveness and durability under various environmental and stressful conditions.

Facility

Cow barn

Additionally, there is a small herd of 16 Piedmontese cattle raised for meat. In this farm, there are also two advanced systems of robotic milking integrated with the online milk analysis system that allows continuous monitoring of parameters to assess the health status of the animal.
