Department of Crop Production

The Department is focused on education and research concerning field crops growing for technical, energetic and food utilization. We are focused on intensive, integrated and ecological systems of management in agriculture. Professional, scientific-research and pedagogical orientation always placed the Department to profiled workplaces of the Faculty, providing education for students of all Faculties at the University. Disciplines focused on field crops growing, yield formation and production quality create crucial part of the subjects. They cooperate with zootechnic Departments on education of complex conceived subjects, e.g. Principles of Agriculture or Agricultural Production. Results of the research are published or handed on to professional agricultural practice at conferences, seminars and field days, which are organized by the Department periodically (oil crops, sugar beet, malting barley, poppy seed, seed and seedling) or according to actual need (ecological agriculture). The Department also provides a professional consultancy.

Continual priorities of the research are following: monitoring of agroecological factors of yield formation including production quality and growing systems of oil crops, cereals, root and tuber crops and legumes, organic farming, seed production, medicinal plants and hop with aim to submit proposals for innovation of growing technology.
In previous year all employees of the Department including PhD students were chief solvers in 13 external grants and participated in solving of other 6 projects (GAČR, NAZV, FRVŠ), two school projects and five projects of Faculty Grant Agencies. 
Significant amount of activity belongs to solving of the research concept, where the Department participates in the part called "Variable Growing Systems for Marketable and Special Plants in Relation to Agrosystem, Production and Quality“.
