  1. Effectiveness of herbicides and fungicides against harmful organisms using different plant protection products, at different times and spray rates
  2. Influence of growth regulators on plant biometrics
  3. Effects of bulk fertilisers and foliar fertilisation on the productivity of field crops
  4. The overwintering, disease susceptibility and productivity of field crop varieties

The aim of all these trials is to test the recommendations made and to further improve crop production technologies to make them even more efficient, helping farmers to produce healthy and high quality crops
