Research on new plant species resistant to climate change

  • Assessment of the needs of water for irrigation of agricultural crops under climate change

  • Preparation of long term projections for the required water resources to be used in agriculture

  • Estimation of the capability of irrigation and drainage systems

Research on pesticides

  • Analysis of the way of their utilization and potential effectiveness of the chemical method against crop diseases and pests

  • Analysis of the most affected plant genotypes, their drought and thermal stress tolerances and their relation to environmental factors

  • Assessment of the need for further measures to enhance water efficiency in agriculture for specific and major plant types

  • Analysis of the climatic needs of the plants according to their phenological phases in a complex context with precipitation and temperature changes

  • Increased protection of forests against pests and plant diseases

Restoration of most valuable ecosystems/habitats

  • Restoration of the natural environment, wildlife and vegetation along the Danube
