Testing of bread wheat varieties
In Hungary, bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important cultures in cropland organic farming in terms of area covered. Hungarian breeders do not work specifically on breeding organic wheat varieties, although some of the conventionally bred varieties are considered suitable for organic cultivation. At the same time, seeds from specific organic breeding are already present on the market in neighboring countries (e.g. Austria). However, their performance in Hungary is not clear yet.

Soy variety, soil and seed treatment trials
The areas under cultivation for organic soy have exceeded 1,000 hectares in the past years. However, this legume could play a much more significant role in crop rotation. Unfortunately, soy is one of the riskiest crop under organic farming system due to the severe effect of water deficit and inappropriate weed management on yield stability Therefore, we considered it important to have recommendations on varieties and cultivation technologies ready for farmers, based on which they can incorporate soy into their crop rotation systems with less risk.

Remote sensing
One of the main advantages of spectral remote sensing is that it allows us to get chemical information in a non-destructive and chemical-free way. Spectral remote sensing has made great advances, both in terms of its technical solutions and its areas of use. In addition to satellites, sensors installed on aeroplanes have appeared (spectral scanners), as well as field and mobile surface platforms (snapshot spectrometers) such as remote-controlled multicopters, field robots or spectral cameras.
