Section overview
Description
Research at the Institute of Crop and Soil Sciences is dedicated to basic and applied topics of agricultural primary production and the protection and conservation of its natural resources. The first priority of research is focused on the goals of sustainability, such as the production of high quality food and feed and adaptating plant production to global change. As well as this primarily politically opportune topics such as the production of plants for energy, industrial crops or cropping with genetically modified plants are investigated and evaluated.
