As part of its industry-academia collaboration with Bayburt University, Agrokur has implemented experimental field trials. Under this project, field tests were conducted on the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants under various climate and soil conditions.
The studies conducted on product groups such as tarragon, sage, thyme, mint, aronia, and hawthorn at the experimental field focused on measuring plant adaptation, productivity, and operational processes. First-year results showed high survival rates and strong growth performance in some crops, while adaptation and yield variations linked to field conditions were identified, particularly in thyme varieties.
Based on these findings, areas for improvement regarding planting schedules, irrigation practices, and drying processes were identified; technical optimization efforts were initiated to develop more efficient and scalable production models.
The work carried out by Agrokur under this collaboration serves as an important reference for the development of agricultural models applicable across different regions and for strengthening data-driven production approaches.
