R&D&I activities:

The key research areas of the institute are, as follows:

The following topics in sylviculture and forest protection: afforestation, propagation material production and hybridization, forest management, game damage mitigation, finding innovative solutions for stopping the spreading of and the damage by forest pathogens and other damaging agents.

• population genetics studies

• improving natural forest management techniques

• planning, managing and protecting energy plantations

• planning, condition assessment and protection of afforestation

• planning and protecting forest, field and roadside plantations

• studying forest management and renewal techniques

• preparing the recultivation of damaged areas

• designing wastewater storage plantation and field protection forest strips

• research in the health of forests and forest protection problems

• research in the role of dead wood

• leaf and shoot diseases on forest trees
