experimental area


Explanation:
zahlreiche Beispiele im Internet..
"Physical control measures refer to physical means adopted to restrict the survival and spread
genetic engineered organism and its products outside the experimental areas, e.g., the installation
of fences to prevent the escape of genetic engineered organisms from the experimental areas
being carried away by human beings or animals to areas outside the experimental areas." oder "Seeds of the 3 transgenic Oxy lines and Gosse were sown into small peat pots and grown in the glasshouse until they reached the 1-2 true leaf stage. They were then transplanted into the experimental area as spaced plants in a randomised plot experiment with 15 plants/plot and 3 replications."
