General information
- Short Summary
-
A spnanish technology centre, that works in agricultural and agrifood sector, offers its technical know-how to carry out multiple analyses of agronomic interest such as: soil, foliar, fertiliser and seed analysis.
The main improvement provided by the offered technology is an increase in crop productivity.
The types of partnerships being sought are a cooperative research and development agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance. - Full Description
-
The Spanish technology centre is specialized in providing innovative solutions and conducting research in various areas, including sustainable agriculture, viticulture industry, agricultural mechanization and experimentation, forest management and enviromental conservation. Its soil, foliar, fertiliser and seed analysis service addresses the challenge of optimising crop productivity and nutrient management. Existing technological solutions for analysis in this field often lack accuracy, in-depth knowledge and tymely results. Its state of the art service uses advanced laboratory equipment and techniques to provide accurate analysis.
The analyses offered are:
● SOIL ANALYSIS: pH, conductivity, moisture, ash, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA ) and International Soil Science Society (ISSS) texture, organic matter, P, Carbonates, active limestrone, total and amoniacal N, total C, C/N, CCC, nitrates, sulphates and others (c/u, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cd, Cr, Pb, B).
● SEED ANALYSIS. Tests: specific weight, thousand seed weight, moisture content, impurities, germination power and germination vigour.
● FERTILIZER ANALYSIS: NPK Index (ratio of the chemical elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), total N, amoniacal N, organic N, water-soluble P and ammonium citrate, total P, K, organic matter, S, solubility, Ca, Mg, neutralisation value, others (Fe, Mn...)
● FOLIAR ANALYSIS: Checks are carried out on the content of various nutrients: N,P,K,Ca,Mg,Fe,Cu,Zn,Mn and others (B,Mo,S,Cr...).
This enables farmers and agronomists to make informed decisions to improve crop yields and resource efficiency.
The following types of partnerships have been chosen: a cooperative research and development agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance. It is because the center is actively involved in the identification of synergies with other organizations to execute international R&D projects hence the type of partner sought are SME, big companyies, academy or R&D institutions. - Advantages and Innovations
- The main advantage of the technology offered is that the centre works with state of the art equipment: ICP-OES (inductively coupled optical plasma emission spectrometer), nitrogen digester and distiller, automatic titrator, precision scales, centrifugues, pH meter, conductivity meter, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, colourimeter, density meter, germination chamber, autoclave, microbiological culture chamber, specific culture media, portable ozone generator and microwave digestion equipment. This equipment enables accurate and reliable analysis to guarantee the quality of agricultural products.

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The Spanish center is looking for different types of companies (SMEs/MNEs), R&D institutions and universities interested in carryng out analyses related to soil, fertilisers, foliar or seeds under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or to conclude a research cooperation agreement.
The partner wishes to acquire an innovative technology/product on a non – exclusive basis and needs additional services to support the transfer or it plans to start researching a new solution or technology solution or technology and is looking for a partner before starting the project. - Type and Size of Partner
