Ecologistics Research Services has a large fleet of plot equipment covering all situations.
Two John Deere tractors provide reliable and reproducible mounting for our many GLP-compliant
spray booms. Precision planting is handled by one of our three cone seeder units suitable for corn, beans,
grain, canola, or any number of large and small seeded crops. Two stationary threshers
and two custom plot combines, including a modified Gleaner combine with automatic
weighing, moisture and data logging, handle our harvest needs.
Ecologistics also has a wide variety of custom-built equipment, including a co2 powered
air-blast sprayer for GLP and efficacy work, as well as a powerboat for water and sediment sampling.
Rest assured, whatever your study requirements, we have the equipment to do the job!
