Crops
Olds College is located on 2,000 acres of prime farmland in central Alberta. The Olds College Centre for Innovation’s Crops division has a dedicated number of acres for applied research purposes.
Crops research focuses on assisting companies in seeking answers to the scientific questions that they have about prototype or late-stage product performance and efficacy. We design scientifically-rigorous and statistically meaningful experiments to address the underlying questions.
Our ServicesOlds College offers extensive service to agriculture companies. We primarily run small plot trials for companies interested in variety comparisons, herbicide and fungicide ratings or fertilizer assessments. Companies running multi-site trials using a standard protocol will find expertly managed trial sites and final reporting in ARM. Site visits are encouraged.
