To carry out location specific and need-based research works, AAU has six Regional Research Stations and three Crops Research Stations in addition to research undertaken at AAU Head Quarter, Jorhat and Biswanath College of Agriculture, Sonitpur. The university has given necessary research support to develop environmentally sound and economically feasible technologies of different field and horticultural crops. Presently, technology generation efforts are focussed mainly to varietal identification/development of major crops suitable to different agro-ecological situations, development of production technologies for field and horticultural crops, aromatic and medicinal plants, soil and water management, cropping and farming system, integrated nutrient management, integrated pest management, integrated crop-fish-livestock farming, post-harvest technology, biotechnology, testing of agricultural tools and equipments, development of agro-forestry, farm forestry, sericulture, bee keeping etc.
