Agricultural Research Office II
Laimburg’s Agricultural Research Offices I and II address topics arising from all areas of agricultural production in South Tyrol. Their focus is not only to find solutions to emerging problems, but also to initiate new developments.
The Agricultural Research Office II is divided into three departments: Plant Protection, Mountain Agriculture, and Specialised Crops. Each department is further subdivided into assigned sectors. Within the Department of Plant Protection, the sectors are: Entomology and Beekeeping; Phytopathology; Pesticide Testing in Fruit Growing and Viticulture; Virology and Diagnostics. The Department of Mountain Agriculture comprises Grassland Farming, Arable Farming and Animal Husbandry. Included within the Department of Specialised Crops are: Vegetable Growing, Berries and Stone Fruit, Herb Cultivation and Ornamental Plants.
The topics investigated are primarily oriented towards the needs of local farmers and their practical problems, but also towards the continuous evolution of farming practices as required in modern agriculture. The predominantly applied nature of our research is complemented by basic research studies carried out in association with universities and other scientific institutions. Laimburg also offers expert advice in areas that are not already covered by specialised consultancy, and in other situations where particular need arises.
