Field laboratory

The equipment is intended to support research, development and demonstration activities in the field of berry production and related agricultural systems. It enables basic on-site analyses, sample preparation and monitoring of selected parameters directly at experimental locations. This contributes to increased efficiency of research work as well as improved reliability and repeatability of the collected data. The equipment is used within multiple research projects and tasks of the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia carried out at the Berry Research Centre. By strengthening the research infrastructure, the equipment enhances the institute’s capacity and competitiveness in applying for national and international research projects.

Responsible for equipment: PhD Nika Cvelbar Weber
Access to the field laboratory and the associated research equipment is provided to researchers involved in research tasks and projects conducted at the Berry Research Centre of the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia. The equipment enables on-site performance of basic analyses in the immediate vicinity of the research facilities and experimental plots, thereby reducing the time between sampling and analysis and improving data quality. The equipment is intended for multi-project, efficient and rational use in support of the centre’s research and development activities. Use of the equipment is organised on the basis of prior notification and coordination of schedules with the responsible person. Access coordination, scheduling of use and supervision of the equipment are managed by Dr. Nika Cvelbar Weber.
