NIBIO Særheim, located in Klepp municipality in the southwest of Norway, is founded upon a long tradition of agricultural research in Rogaland. Today, the research station is part of Rogaland Agriculture Park, comprimising 11 organisations and companies connected to agriculture.
Rogaland is Norway’s most important agricultural county, with 100 000 hectares of cultivated land. The station is situated centrally in themain fodder growing districts and many of Særheim’s research tasks are connected to this topic. There are good conditions for grass and winter fodder production, and for studying climate effects, climatic adaptation and grass physiology. The area is suitable for producing many of the crops grown in Norway, such as vegetables, grass and fodder and glasshouse crops. It is also close to Ryfylke, with mild climate well suited for fruit production.
Særheim is well established within the region andaims to be a leading force in the development of regional knowhow, and its dissemination, related to greenhouse vegetables, fodder crops and amenity grass. NIBIO Særheim has an research greenhouse covering 700 m2 with 8 departments. There is also a phytotrone with 8 chambers. Both buildings have advanced climate regulation (temperature, light, CO2, humidity), and fertilizer supply can be regulated with a large number of nutrient combinations. The climate computer is amongst the most advanced available and both regulates and records climatic conditions in 24 departments. There are also several cold stores at Særheim, where temperature can be controlled from -20 °C upwards. In 11 specially adapted freezer cabinets the temperature can be regulated and logged for research on responses to climate and stress, as well as a greenhouse of almost 1000 m2.
Outdoors, Særheim has just less than 40 ha of of fully cultivated land. A lysimeter facility with 8 cells has been established on two soil types, and as well as a a facility for studying ‘green rooves’.
