Close cooperation with regional, conventional and organic farmers and beekeepers enables high-quality field trials.

Through many years of cooperation and a large number of successfully conducted studies, our partners from agriculture are already sensitized to scientific requirements. Additionally, they contribute a wealth of invaluable experience, because not all challenges in field trials can be foreseen from a desk. Thus, through joint work, a climate of shared learning has developed from which everyone benefits.

Neu-Ulrichstein offers all the possibilities of agricultural practice, from arable farming to animal husbandry. This includes land, equipment and research expertise.

Embedded in a GLP test facility with ecotoxicological expertise and laboratory background, even land-intensive projects can be realized on an area of more than 50 hectares - for example, large-scale field projects with bees on specially created areas.

We offer an extensive infrastructure and professional support for this:

• Agricultural land (20 hectares of grassland, 30 hectares of arable land and options for additional land if required).
• Agricultural infrastructure (e.g. a vehicle fleet with agricultural machinery)
• 14C radionuclide area (about 400 m²)
• Stables for poultry, large and small ruminants (Section 11 of the Animal Protection Act).
• Quarantine areas
• Weather station of the German Weather Service
• Terrestrial and aquatic model ecosystems
• Flowing and static outdoor mesocosms
• Aquatic connection to nearby ponds and streams
• Good laboratory practice (GLP category 4; 7 and 9)
