This platform allows to measure the biological state of soils, the richness of its biodiversity and the dynamics of its functional activity by microbiology measurements, identification and enumeration by epifluorescence microscopy, cytometry, molecular biology, Biolog© functional fingerprinting, genetic fingerprinting (sequencer, enzymologies & spectrophometry)

• evaluation and validation of agricultural innovations,
• 60 ha of agricultural land exclusively dedicated to open field experimentation (micro- and meso-plots as well as "producer" plots)
• available agricultural land of about 350 ha spread over 2 farms,
• experimentation in controlled conditions and confined environment possible.

• automated extraction robot for genetic material (QIACUBE),
• automated sample preparation robot (QIAGILITY),
• 2 real-time quantitative PCR (AB 7300 and ROTORGENE),

• 1 bioanalyzer (AGILENT 2100).

• epidemiological studies,
• characterization of populations of phytopathogenic fungi (biodiversity, genetic markers, pathogenicity),
• control of plant diseases (fungicidal efficiency in particular),
• study of varietal resistance and tolerance.

• biochemical analysis of food matrices and fate of biochemical markers (vitamins, Maillard products, macronutrients ...) during agro-industrial and/or food processes,
• physico-chemical characterization of plant raw materials for the evaluation of their technological aptitudes (molecular distribution of polysaccharide and/or protein polymers ...),
• development of plant selection tools for phenotyping stages (high throughput screening of protein subunits, etc.).

This platform allows to estimate the structural and agronomic qualities of soils through biophysicochemical and granulometric analyses, by separative methods (MARSX,...TOC, CPG, HPLC,...), by thermogravimetry or infrared spectrometry.
