Scientific priorities

* Agroecosysem productivity;
* Remediation of soils affected by technogenic pollution;
* Protection of surface and groundwater from pollution from agricultural sources;
* Agroecological and biochemical research for crop production quality;
* Agroecological assessment- database, models, risk assessment, methods and technologies for soil, water and plant protection.

Research of applied results

* Development and testing differentiation technologies and technological decisions for formation of highly productive field crops;
* Technologies for rehabilitation of soils polluted by oil products for their use for agricultural production;
* Ecologically friendly management decisions for protection surface and groundwater in vulnerable areas;

* Models of agroecosystems anthropogenic loads;
* Amelioration scheme for treatment with organo-mineral lime minerals for improving the neutralizing effect of “liming” under conditions of extremely heavy metal polluted soils;
* Application of a patent defended method for organo-mineral amelioration of acidic soils polluted with heavy metals;
* Educational program for good agricultural practices for protection of water from nitrate pollution.
