Sustainable Use of Land Resources for Production of Basic Cereal Plants and Oilseed Crops in Bulgaria

Abstract

Bulgaria is an agrarian country and this is not only a personal assertion or a statement, nor is it just a stand on the matter. In our country, for many years, there have been long traditions in the production of cereal plants and oilseed crops. In Northeast Bulgaria - General Toshevo region, in 1951, Dobrudzha Agricultural Research Institute was established, which is known today as Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute, and it performs selection in the field of wheat varieties and sunflower seeds production. The agricultural land in Bulgaria is cultivated and cropped with seeds of high quality, which results in good harvest of cereals and oilseed crops. The chief purpose of this paper is to establish the indicators that can guarantee a sustainable use of the land resources in our country for production of cereal plants and oilseed crops throughout a long period of development and to analyze the dynamics in the process of their use.
