• Establishing of parental cultures for hop reproduction using meristems, namely in the case of Saaz variety (Osvald clone 31, 72 and 114) and in the case of hybrid varieties (Sládek, Premiant, Agnus, Harmonie, Bor, Rubín).

• Evaluation of climatic data in hop-growing areas; based on this, the need and extent of irrigation is specified.

• Advisory activities in terms of contracts for work dealing with hop growing technology, its inspection in productive hop gardens in agricultural areas.

• Hop nutrition using basic nutrients.

• Fertilizer verification.

• Extra-root hop nutrition application.

• Verification of new types of supporting and growth substances on hop growing.

• Organization and training of hop-pickers and hop dryer mechanics.

• Integrated system of hop production.

• Hop growing on low trellis.

• Organic hop growing.

• Analysis of research projects financially supported by the government (GACR, NAZV, MIT,MEYS).
