- Soil and Plant Research: Conduct research to assess the compatibility of different plant species with various soil types. Test and analyze soil samples to determine their nutrient content, composition, and suitability for specific crops.
- Fertilizer Testing: Design and implement small-scale trials to test the effectiveness of different fertilizers. Evaluate the impact of fertilizers on plant growth, yield, and overall soil health.
- Experimental Design: Develop and oversee experimental plots for testing various agricultural inputs and practices. Ensure that all tests are scientifically valid and yield reliable data.
- Data Collection and Analysis: Collect, record, and analyze data from experiments. Prepare detailed reports on findings and provide recommendations for large-scale implementation based on the results.
- Collaboration: Work closely with farm managers, agronomists, and other stakeholders to align research activities with farm goals. Provide expert advice on best practices for soil management, crop selection, and fertilizer use.
- Innovation and Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in agricultural research. Propose and test innovative solutions to improve crop yield, soil health, and overall farm productivity.
- Compliance: Ensure all research activities comply with relevant agricultural standards, safety regulations, and environmental guidelines.
