Research Institute of Crop Production

The Research Institute of Crop Production (RICP) (Czech: Výzkumný ústav rostlinné výroby, VÚRV) was established in 1951. During its more than 50 years of existence, the RICP has been the leading crop-production research institution within the Czech Republic. After most specialised research institutes in the Czech Republic were privatised in 1993, RICP is the only state-independent institution pursuing both research and consulting activities focussed on problems associated with growing crop plants.
