Increasing the level of crop and livestock production is essential for sustainable agriculture. One of the technological priorities of the current RIS3 SK Strategy is environment, agriculture, food security with a focus on advanced technologies and practices in the field of agriculture and food to ensure that healthy food production is sufficient. With its focus, the project makes it possible to fulfil this priority. The solution is closely linked to the domain “Healthy food and environment” in the main relevant SK NACE sector “A01 Agriculture” and fulfils the integrated development trend 1. “Sustainable and competitive agricultural and forestry production of primary resources”. The project addresses a multidisciplinary problem between priority areas (economy, environment) and therefore for research and development activities carried out by the applicant. The activities in the submitted project are directly linked to the research on the sustainable improvement and innovation of growing systems in plant production, including integrated, alternative and ecological forms.Solving Activity 1 “Support of the RustWatch project” is in line with the scope of the international project solution entitled: “A European early-warning system for wheatrust diseases” grant no: 773311-2. Activity 1 will support research carried out as part of the RUSTWATCH project solution. The aim of the activity will be to obtain and find resistant genotypes to rust with high technological quality and harvest using effective selection tools.Activity 2 solution "agro-ecological rayonisation and elimination of agronomically critical elements of growing technology of prospective newly-introduced energy crop Panicum virgatum L." is in line with BIOSKOH’s Innovation Stepping Stones for a novel European Second Generation" No. grantu:709557. In the framework of the presented activity 2, experiments will be conducted to gain new knowledge on the reaction of various varieties of prospective energy crop Panicum virgatum L. to the agroecological areas of Slovakia.Action 3 “Supporting increased efficiency and competitiveness of organic crop breeding” is based on the assignment in an international project entitled: “Increasing the efficiency and competitivenes of organic crop breeding” No. Granu: 771367. Activity 3 aims at obtaining and improving the availability of seeds and varieties of summer wheat suitable for organic farming and low inputs, including high nutrient efficiency and competitiveness against weeds in terms of their potential contribution to increasing competitiveness.
