- Full Description
-
Turkish Agricultural Research Institute from Turkey has been expertised mainly on the breeding of field crops and horticulture as well as seed production and conservation of these genetic resources, protection of these plants from stressors in soil to provide food safety and nutrition.
Turkish Agricultural Research Institute, operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forest was established in 1963 in Izmir, Turkey. There are 95 researchers (Agricultural Engineer (Field Crops, Horticulture, Plant Protection, Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, and Agricultural Machinery), Veterinary Medicine, Food Engineer, Biologist, and Chemist) in the technical staff of Institute.
The Institute carries out R&D research activities with 202 technical and support personnel on 2053 decares of open field and 10,000 square meters of closed area (Greenhouses, fast-track breeding systems, and hydroponic). The institute are in contact with soil scientist and researchers from the other institutes and universities. To increase the awareness of people, demonstrations activities of plant and soil practices and hosting training and workshop events on the farm to extend specific management practices, highlight research methods and results to farmers, sectors, and non-governmental organizations have been organised in the institute.
