The crop producti<strong>on</strong> research of Europe and Hungary has several comm<strong>on</strong> aspects<br />

either in the fields of research, or in the structure of the research organisati<strong>on</strong>s or in the<br />

principle of funding research. On the other hand the process of implementati<strong>on</strong> is not<br />

uniform. In the western European countries the crop producti<strong>on</strong> research is made by the<br />

universities and by regi<strong>on</strong>al research institutes. The research institutes are financed by<br />

the administrati<strong>on</strong>, or by private organisati<strong>on</strong>s. A part of the agrotechnical research is<br />

n<strong>on</strong> profit type (eg. plant nutriti<strong>on</strong>, crop rotati<strong>on</strong>, soil management), while others like<br />

breeding or pesticide research are profit oriented <strong>on</strong>es.<br />

Obviously <strong>on</strong> those fields, where the experimental results has a direct return (new<br />

species, or hibred, new pesticide or machine etc.) the financial background of the<br />

research is evident. There is a completely opposit situati<strong>on</strong> in case of those researches,<br />
