-Intensive technology of winter wheat growing

-Intensive technology of sugar beet growing under conditions of sufficient moisture in Western Ukraine

-Highly productive and deseases  resistable  varieties of potato, resource saving  and ecological safe technology of its growing in Western Ukraine

-Resource saving, ecological safe technologies of spring crops cultivation

- Resource saving, ecological safe technologies of artichoke growing

- Resource saving, ecological safe technologies of applying of sowed long-term haymaking on mineral soils

- The technology of spring barley growing with the use of energy saving systems of soil cultivation

- Resource saving, ecological safe technologies of soy-bean growing in Western Ukraine

- Resource saving, ecological safe technologies of spring rape growing in Western regions of Ukraine

The results of scientific researches are published and widely applied at farms of western regions of Ukraine.
