Priority directions of scientific astivity:
- training of scientific specialists and scientific-technological provision of beet growing branch in Ukraine;
- working out genetical , biotechnological, physiological and physiologobiochemical technologies of developing new initial materials of sugar beet for breeding for heterosis, resistant to a complex of unfavorable factors;
- creation of new competitive, high-productive, resistant to a complex of unfavorable environmental factors varieties and hybrids of sugar beet, suitable for mechanized growing, which guarantee sugar yield of 8,5-9,0 t/ha and a high seed multiplication rate;
- working out principally: new resource - and energysaving technologies of sugar beet production and growing their seed bearing plants, adapted to soilclimatic conditions of beet growing zones with the aim of maximal use of genetical potential of the crop;
- working out technologies of sugar beet preparation for sowing (rubbing, grading, incrustation, treatment with protective-stimulating substances, pelleting), bringing the level of seed quality indices up to international standards and realization;
- scientific foundation of beet rotations under new conditions;
- soil tillage systems; fertilization with calculation for the planned yield; stand protection from weeds, pests and diseases on
the basis of forecasting;
- foundation of organizational-economical model of the optimal functioning of beet-sugar sub-complexes of AIC of Ukraine under market conditions;
- development of new competetive, high-productive varieties and hybrids of fodder beet, cereals, grain-legume crops, groat crops and grasses, roct chicory, honey Stevia; working out technologies of their mechanized growing and seed production, realization of seed of high reproduction and Stevia seed
