The technology makes it possible to cover the whole country with forests on a long-term basis by solving the technical issues arising in working out plans for afforestation and in implementing them to suit the actual conditions of the country.

Scientists of the institute have also made many successes in breeding and cultivating soil-covering plants suitable for the climate and natural features of the country.

They have bred new kinds of superior turf by crossing golden turf strong in resistance to drought and blight and rather endurable to treading with other species of turf which keep green color for a long time and are resistant to cold.

They also developed a technology of cultivating turf without soil so as to increase turf output and save manpower and time.

This technology has been applied widely to main streets and various districts of Pyongyang City and various local areas of the country.
