The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  Complex research on caraway including the following topics:

  • to innovate and officially certify cultivation methods for all forms of caraway (biennial/winter/annual) containing guides for nutrition, fertilization and control of harmful organisms
  • to prepare and verify new growing technology for all forms of caraway suitable for cultivation under conditions with decreased consumption of pesticides and in ecological farming
  • to describe a contribution of caraway presence in crop rotation for its better sustainability and as a source of food for pollinators and natural enemies of pests
  • to produce breeding materials by biotech. processes to test new methods for essential oils content determination in fruit
  • to detect pathogens by molecular methods
