The locals, the residents. An 800 m² building within the structure is exclusively dedicated to it. It mainly consists of a scoring laboratory, a weighing room, a room for phytosanitary products, a breeding ground, three cold rooms and a large space for the storage of equipment. Experiments in the field, in a cold room. The experiments are carried out mainly on the Achicourt site by setting up a testing platform of 5.50 hectares comprising, depending on the years 2000, to 2200 micro-plots. Tests are also carried out in conservation thanks to the three refrigeration chambers dedicated in part to this purpose. Different themes are worked on: Agronomic trials in the field: fertilization, weeding, physiology, etc. Crop protection: treatment of plants, fungicides, oils, insecticides, SDN (stimulator of natural plant defenses), biocontrol products, pathogen antagonisms, etc. For this, internal tests as well as tests with numerous phytosanitary firms are carried out. Evaluation in non-irrigated condition of new hybrids being selected by the varietal research station of the Comité Nord. Participation in the CTPS network (Permanent Technical Selection Committee) as part of the agronomic, technological and pest resistance (PVY) evaluation of varieties. Tests in a cold room: work on germination control of plants in conservation (Ex: Mint oil / Ethylene), tests on the effectiveness of plant treatments on conservation diseases, work on the disinfection of buildings. Network trials are also being carried out with the producers of plants in the Comité Nord with various themes also worked on: Popularization of production techniques: Intercropping, soil preparation, localized treatments, machinery, desiccation techniques, etc. Practical evaluation of new products. Methods of keeping plants in storage.
