The Laboratory for ecophysiology and crop evaluation carries out analyses related to plant and yield characteristics that are evaluated within scientific research projects and breeding programmes for selected agricultural crops. Analyses are performed at morphological, spectrophotometric and biochemical levels. Measurement of ecophysiological parameters and optical properties of tissues during the growing season is carried out in the field (protected environments, experimental fields).
