Cooperation of SUA in Nitra with Indonesian universities

During the program with University Andalas, problems in varieties selection, testing adaptation to growing conditions, phenology, grain quality, tolerance against biotic and abiotic factors have been addressed. SUA played the role of an independent research and education institution, which task was to offer know-how and training of agricultural professionals, especially in the field of cultivation of special types of cereals suitable for the region of Indonesia.
