Facility
Rabanales Experimental Farm
University of Cordoba (UCO)
Country
Spain

The "Rabanales Experimental Farm," located 7 kilometres east of Córdoba, Spain, spans 200 hectares and is a leading centre for agricultural research. The farm is equipped with advanced robotic machinery, including tractors with automatic guidance systems and robotic quads, designed for precision farming trials. Its irrigation infrastructure features AI-powered, solar-driven systems that adapt water and input distribution based on satellite data and soil analysis, ensuring efficient resource use. UAVs, equipped with hyperspectral, thermographic, and LiDAR cameras, monitor crop health and soil conditions, while a network of sensors tracks vital data such as soil moisture and temperature. The farm also dedicates 30 hectares to fruit cultivation research, supported by a photovoltaic-powered irrigation system remotely managed through fibre-optic technology. Complementing these areas are facilities for experimenting with agricultural IoT nodes, greenhouses for controlled trials, and banks for olive varieties and germplasm. Experimental forests with Quercus and pine species, along with livestock facilities, further expand the farm’s research capabilities, making it a hub for innovation in sustainable agriculture.
Facility
Fruit Growing Lands
University of Cordoba (UCO)
Country
Spain

The Rabanales Experimental Farm includes 30 hectares dedicated to research in fruit cultivation and crop nurseries, with an advanced irrigation system powered by photovoltaic energy. This system, remotely monitored via fibre optic connection, enables precise and efficient management of water and nutritional resources.
Facility
Irrigation Facilities
University of Cordoba (UCO)
Country
Spain

The irrigation facility located at the "Rabanales Experimental Farm" boasts unique features that make it especially suitable for testing or validating various agri-food products or services. It stands out in Europe for incorporating vision and artificial intelligence into its system for variable irrigation and input distribution. The field's irrigation installations or equipment comprise a pivot and a linear, forward-moving system. Both systems are controlled by remote sensors that measure soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity, as well as wind, precipitation, and radiation. This allows for the optimisation of irrigation schedules, ensuring the total utilisation of the applied water.

Facility
Animal Production Laboratory
University of Cordoba (UCO)
Country
Spain

The Animal Production Laboratory focuses on the use of NIRS for nondestructive testing of feed, meats, oils, and other agricultural products. It is involved in national and international research projects aimed at enhancing food integrity and traceability. NIRS enables rapid, efficient analysis, critical for ensuring product quality and safety throughout the food chain.
Infrastructure
NIRS Infrastructure
University of Cordoba (UCO)
Country
Spain

Among the available NIRS equipment are portable and benchtop instruments, such as the FT-NIR NeoSpectra and Perten DA-7000, which can analyse liquids, solids, and other samples both in the field and in industrial settings. Additionally, hyperspectral cameras, including the XENICS and Headwall Photonics models, provide detailed spectral data for in-depth analysis. The inclusion of robotic arms and conveyor belts further enhances automation in product testing, allowing for high-throughput analysis at industrial scales. This advanced NIRS infrastructure is vital for the agrifood sector, enabling precise, efficient validation of products, optimising production processes, and ensuring consistency in quality control.
