Reference: What is Versuchsglied here?

Reference information:
We really need some broader context. Versuchsglied may refer to an area used for crop trials, but it seems rather unlikely for a project on adapting computer systems to work together.

OK, in that case it's probably a "test plot" or quite simply 'plot'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Dabei auftretende Abweichungen im Rheinwasser-Versuchsglied von der Kontrollparzelle mit Brunnenwasser sollten nach dem oben angeführten Beweissicherungsverfahren überprüft und bewertet werden.
  • Otherwise a farmer will not know whether in a particular year the application of Rhein water influences his yield or some other factor is responsible, possible mistakes in tillage, in fertilizer application and others.

Note to reference poster
Asker: this fits the use of Versuchglied perfectly - the computer systems are for processing the crop trials carried out. So is it a test patch / test area / trial section?
