Agricultural Contract Research (CRO) Capabilities
Our research group includes experts such as scientists, technicians, and agricultural advisors who focus on field and lab research for the fruit, vegetable, and grain sectors. We concentrate on addressing agricultural production issues by utilizing sophisticated diagnostic tools, targeted experiments, and crafting innovative farming technologies to serve a varied range of clients, with agricultural contract research stations spread across the United States.
Key contract agricultural research capabilities include the following: Ag Metrics Group entomology provides an uncommonly wide array of insect species testing in laboratory bioassays, greenhouse and field plantings. From our insectaries, we can also augment natural pest pressures when needed to assure field tests are successful.
Ag Metrics Group plant pathology has a broad inventory of current disease pathotypes, qPCR monitoring, and the ability to research international plant diseases in multiple USDA APHIS approved structures nationally.
Ag Metrics Group nematology research includes rearing and maintaining a dozen distinct nematode pest species that give our greenhouse and field trials excellent test conditions.
Our nematology research capabilities include:
Ag Metrics Group agronomy research involves management of laboratory, greenhouse (CEA) and field experimentation with a variety of crop inputs for plant health, soil stewardship, and even new farm machinery prototypes.
Ag Metrics Group helps clients develop new technologies in precision agriculture from early development through demonstration and adoption. In this program, agricultural best management practices are evaluated using advanced lidar, multispectral, and drone imaging technologies.
