Abstract
In sustainable agricultural production systems, the agricultural production should be environment-friendly, economically justified and socially accepted. Biological progress constitutes the key factor enabling introduction of environment-friendly, sustainable, low-input and ecological production systems in agriculture. In order to improve effectiveness of variety in agriculture. the integration of plant breeding programmes with varietal testing and plant growing is needed. It is necessary to increase biodiversity in the fields by an adequate management of varieties resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses grown in monocultures. Another possibility to increase biodiversity is growing as many as possible species on the farm as well as growing of mixtures (varietal mixtures, species mixtures) and other heterogeneous plant materials (composite cross populations, local varieties). Biodiversity in the production field can be potentially increased by wider post-registration variety testing and recommendation of diverse varieties in different environments and growing conditions.
