University of Pannonia, Georgikon Faculty, Department of Crop Production and Soil Science

Institute acronym:

UP

Institute profile:

The Georgikon Faculty of the University of Pannonia is the first regular agricultural higher education institution on the Continent of Europe (established in 1797), and it performs extensive international research programs in soil and environmental sciences, land use, plant production as well as agro-informatics. The university has a wide range of graduate and postgraduate courses for international students, as well as established doctoral schools in the different disciplines. The Department of Plant Production and Soil Science has been running several long-term field experiments since the 1960-ies in which the effect of different rates and forms of fertilizers, soil tillage and crop rotation as well as different systems of organic matter and crop residue management can be studied. The department is also in charge of organizing and supervising the National Long-term Field Trial Network. Data base consisted of soil, plant and climatic data from the field experiments and pilot areas are available for research.
