Kasetsart University has adopted a centralized policy for its scientific laboratory system operation in order to maximize the utilization of research facilities. Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute (KURDI) operates Central Scientific Laboratory on both bangkhen and Kamphaengsaen campuses. The Central Scientific Equipment Laboratory on Bangkhen campus covers on optical and electron microscope unit, animal and plant germplasm unit, tissue culture unit, serology unit and analytical unit. On Kamphaengsaen Campus, The Central Laboratory and greenhouse Complex (CLGC) are both centralized and subject matter oriented. Among these facilities are central biochemistry unit, soil and fertilizer testing and applied research unit, plant pest clinic and quarantine unit, culture collection unit, seed technology unit, postharvest research unit, environmental science unit, data analysis unit, tissue culture unit and greenhouse unit. The CLGC also operate the Plant Genetic Engineering Unit of the National Biotechnology Research Center.

Off campus there are ten experiment stations for agriculture, fisheries and forestry work and student training. Academic departments are also charged with the responsibility to operate specific laboratories, serving faculty members and in most cases, also serving the general public as part of extension activities of Kasetsart.

The Institute of Food Research and Product Development (IFRPD) presently located on the Bangkhen campus offers research facilities in food science and technology for new food products development essential to economic, industrial and agricultural growth. It is charged with specific projects such as the development of low cost protein foods for the generally low income consumers, the development of baby food to effectively supplement early weaning or deficient nutrition level, the development of food products from low cost agricultural produces.

The Radio-Isotope Laboratory is established for research utilizing atomic energy in agriculture.

On Bangkhen campus are located laboratories and research facilities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives for agriculture, fisheries and livestock. Through mutual agreement, these facilities are also made available to Kasetsart staff and graduate or advanced undergraduate students. A number of scientists attached to these various units also serve as part-time lecturers, especially at graduate level.

With the grant aid from the Government of Japan in 1978 and 1980 Kasetsart University has established the Central Laboratory and Greenhouse Comples (CLGC), the National Agricultural Extension and Training Center (NAETC) and the National Agricultural Machinery Center (NAMC). All those are located at Kamphaengsaen campus, Nakhon Pathom, 80 km. west to Bangkok. Three master research projects in agricultural science are being conducted at the CLGC with the assistance from JICA. We are also looking forward to additional joint research projects of mutual interest with any institution, national or internation. The NAETC offers in - service training in technology transfer to youths, farmers, government officials and also serve scientists from our neighboring countries. The NAMC is active in testing and doing development work on appropriate farm machinery. It is hoped that those shall contribute its fair share toward agricultural development of our country and the region.
