Vegetable Growing

The favourable climate of high-altitude sites allows farmers to cultivate vegetables that are of outstanding quality and highly regarded by consumers. Vegetable growing is therefore firmly integrated in South Tyrol’s agriculture.

In practically-oriented research, new varieties of the most important vegetable cultivars are continually being tested. This helps agriculture to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the marketplace. The goal is to find the most environmentally-friendly cultivation methods possible, and to offer healthy produce of the highest quality to consumers. 

• Cultivar testing of the main types of vegetables grown in South Tyrol
• Research on optimisation of fertilisation techniques
• Research on cultivation techniques, farming methods and pest management
• Experimental trials of organic vegetable cultivation

• Technical assistance and consultation services for agricultural co-operatives and private farms
