The central service group Experimental Fields and Nurseries looks after the experimental cultivation and reproduction for the scientific groups. It manages the green houses and the experimental outdoor fields. 
The staff can give you some advice in planning experiments, cultivation methods, cultivation conditions, pest management methods etc. Regularly, there are consultations concerning planned experiments and the necessary space requirements between the scientific groups and the group Experimental Fields and Nurseries. 
Not required fields (about 40 ha) are farmed according to customary agriculture. The available area is shown in the chart.
