  – herbicides (cereals, oilseed rape, potatoes, legumes, maize, vegetables, grasses, orchards, fallow, flax, pasture and non-agricultural areas);

  – desiccants (oilseed rape and potatoes);

• Weed survey in arable crops;
• Weed-crop competition in field trials (focus on?Avena fatua);
• Weed resistance to the herbicides;
• Weed mapping;
• The development of controlling methods of the invasive species (e.g. Giant Hogweed).
• Giving advice and recommendations to farmers for suitable methods (chemical, mechanical) for weed control in arable crops;
• Giving advice and?recommendations to farmers to prevet herbicide resistence;
• Preparing scientific publications and publications for farmers in local journals about hot topics.
