Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering
Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering was founded in
1995 as a result of a project of the Agricultural University and the split
of the Agronomics Faculty that provided education in the field of
Landscape Engineering and the specialization Horticulture.
Faculty is primarily focused on the education of professionals focused
on horticultural production, fruit growing, viticulture, vegetable
and flowers protuction, on garden design and landscaping, renovation
and maintenance of green areas, planning and landscape creation,
soil, air and water protection, ground design, waste management,
construction and restoration of rural areas.

Centre of Excellence for integrated river
basin management
• Project No.: ITMS 26220120062 in 2010, became part of
the Centre of Excellence for integrated river basin
management in a changing environmental conditions
(CEIMP) together with partner organizations Institute of
Hydrology and the Technical University in Zvolen. The
project is cofinanced for a period of 2.5 years by the EU
grant.
– as part of the implementation of activities was built monitoring
system of soil water regime wired 15 automatic hydrological
stations and 4 meteorological stations;
– special equipment: Photogrammetric equipment for close
photogrammetry including lenses, Baro Diver and Diver for
measuring the depth of water, vacuum pycnometer, Total Station
with integrated GPS, GPS Penetrologer, etc.
Laboratory of Explantate Cultures
• The laboratory provides experimental basis for development of recent
and perspective scientific activities focused on ecological
technologies which are contributing to the sustainable production of
quality horticulture products, on quantification of mass and energy
flow data, quantification of water regime indicators in plants in
drought conditions and the regulation and the modeling of these
indicators.
• It provides practical teaching in the field of analytical work and
laboratory technics for the subjects „Telary cultures and
micropropagation of horticulture plants“ and „Reproduction and seed
growing of woody plants“.
Aims in the field of research and education:
– Micropropagation of horticulture plants, their acclimation and preservation
of cultures for research and education.
– Research of the influence of abiotic and biotitic factors on the growth and evolution
of horticultural plants.
– Modeling of water regime in horticultural plants in drought conditions.
Acta Horticulturae et Regiotecturae
• Scientific journal for horticulture, landscape engineering, architecture
and ecology. It contains original papers thematically oriented and
related to above mentioned fields of science and research.
The journal is issued twice a year.
