What you will read in issue 7/2021 of the magazine “Plant Protection”

The August issue of the magazine "Plant Protection" for 2021 has been published.

In the theme of the issue we present the Institute of Rose, Essential Oil and Medicinal Crops in Kazanlak. The idea to establish such an institution dates back to 1906. Despite the difficulties and numerous reorganizations, over the years the Institute has managed to grow from an experimental field into a leading scientific unit in essential oil production. In the issue you can follow the long and dynamic history of one of the most fragrant institutes in the system of the Agricultural Academy.
