Identification of factors stimulating and limiting implementation of biological and integrated control of oilseed crops at different levels of research, development, consultation and technology transfer;
development of strategies to improve implementation of integrated control in integrated production with regard to gene technology and its impact on the environment and the quality of agricultural products;
development of sustainable low-input oilseed crop production systems to minimize pesticides and fossil fuel usage and to maximize the exploitation of gene resources;
improvement of new strategies in research and development in harmony with integrated production, for example molecular biology of harmful and beneficial micro-organisms, biology of pathogens and quality of agricultural products (e.g. seed quality).
