Abstract. Maize production in Central and Eastern Europe has seen significant growth over the past decades, driven by favourable climate conditions and improved agricultural practices. However, the region faces numerous challenges, including increasing climate variability, pests, and diseases, which threaten both yield and crop quality. The adoption of modern agricultural technologies and the development of drought-resistant maize varieties are seen as key strategies to enhance productivity. Integrating sustainable farming practices and addressing market fluctuations are crucial for ensuring longterm growth supplemented by integrated plant protection.
