The Institute has an automated agro-meteorology station measuring the climatic parameters such as Temperature, Solar radiation, Relative humidity, Wind Speed and direction, Evaporation, Atmospheric Pressure and Precipitation. The Institute embodies the Soil - Plant - Water - Manure and Microbiology laboratories to serve research activities, farmers and other foundations. In addition, The RS and GIS laboratory was established and it was supported with many equipments and software to process satellite images and make analysis of Geographical Information System for research projects and other purposes.
