Uloga Instituta za povrtarstvo Smederevska Palanka u primeni nauke u poljoprivredi

Abstract

Institut za povrtarstvo Smederevska Palanka je naučnoistraživačka ustanova sa tradicijom dužom od sedam i po decenija. Za to vreme, od praznih močvarnih parcela Institut je prerastao u zaokruženu instituciju, koja obuhvata više od 150 ha obradivih površina, istraživačko razvojne, laboratorijske, proizvodne, magacinsko-distributivne i komercijalnoprodajne kapacitete. Zahvaljujući višedecenijskom radu i zalaganju tehničkog i stručnog osoblja kao i oko 100 inženjera, magistara i doktora nauka, u proteklom periodu registrovano je više od 170 sorti i hibrida različitih vrsta povrća, objavljeno je više od 1300 referenci, odbranjeno 25 magistarskih radova i 26 doktorskih disertacija. Uprkos nepovoljnim okolnostima koje su zadesile Srbiju u prethodnom periodu, Institut je uspeo da se održi na domaćem i međunarodnom tržištu i sve vreme svog postojanja predano radi na unapređenju povrtarstva kroz širenje iskustava, uvođenje inovacija i implementaciju stečenih rezultata istraživanja u proizvodnju povrća, dajući svoj skroman doprinos primeni nauke u poljoprivredi.

The Institute of Vegetable Crops Smederevska Palanka is a scientific research institution with a tradition of more than seven and a half decades. During that time, the Institute has grown from empty swamp plots into a well-rounded institution that includes more than 150 ha of arable land, research and development facilities, laboratories, production, warehouse-distribution and commercial facilities. Thanks to decades of hard work and efforts of technical and professional staff as well as about 100 engineers, masters and doctors of science, in the past period more than 170 varieties and hybrids of different types of vegetables were registered, more than 1300 references were published, 25 master's theses and 26 doctoral dissertations were defended. Despite the unfavorable circumstances that occur in Serbia in the previous period, the Institute managed to maintain its position on the domestic and international market and throughout its existence has dedicatedly worked on the improvement of vegetable production through the dissemination of experiences, the introduction of innovations and the implementation of the obtained research results in the production of vegetables, giving its modest contribution to the application of science in agriculture.
