The Yair Research and Development Station

At the basis of the initiative for the founding of the Yair Research and Development Station stand, among others, the notion of the spreading of agricultural knowledge. This station, located in the Moshav of Hazeva, was created mainly for the conducting of agricultural experimentation and for the development of this growing field in a region where agricultural ventures seem almost like an impossible mission. On Holidays and various occasions the Yair Research and Development Station opens its gates to public tours. The fascinating tours include visits to the greenhouses and orchards that are accompanied by interesting information about the cultivation of peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables in the brackish water of the Arava region, explanations about innovative biologic pest control, the acclimatization of new species, water agriculture, organic agriculture, and more. Based on prearrangement, on occasions a group of several families can get organized and receive a tour of the place. A visit to the Yair Research and Development Station is not only for the genre lovers.
