Kazakh National Agrarian Research University. Work is underway to develop effective systems and components for crop production technologies, as well as wind, water, solar and biogas plants;
Several varieties of agricultural crops were tested;
- Technology of processing and storage of agricultural products is being developed;
In the educational and experimental farm of agrobiostantsya, a demonstration plot of fruit and berry crops was built. development of fruit growing, and in order to apply new varieties and rootstocks, the direction of new technologies with production systems.
Joint scientific work with Kamkor LLC
In order to conduct research together with the limited liability company "Kamkor" located in the Zharkent region of Zhetysu region, perennial wheat was planted on an area of 7 hectares. Wheat variety: "Baitak".
Together with the Educational and Scientific Production Center "Baiserke Agro," located in the Almaty region, a new variety called "Desert" was planted.
A new variety of wheat, called "Desert," was developed through individual selection from a hybrid population. The new "Desert" variety has rich botanical diversity and belongs to the hybrid species Gostianum (Hostianum).
The "Desert" variety boasts remarkable characteristics: it has 8-12 cm long cylindrical spikes, densely structured, with 14-18 spiny awns reaching up to 10 cm. The grain is glassy, semi-long, large, red-colored, and smooth at the base, with a central groove. The economic value of this variety is evident in its high yield. The weight of 1000 grains is 40.8-49.0 g, with a volume of 757-820 g/L, and the number of grains in the main spike reaches 45.5-60.5. Most importantly, the "Desert" variety is resistant to winter cold, summer heat, drought, and diseases. It is recommended for cultivation on irrigated lands and with fertilizer use. When ripe, the grain does not scatter and is easily threshed. The yield of "Desert" is 25.5-40.5 c/ha.
A new wheat variety called "Baitak" was planted together with the Educational and Scientific Production Center "Baiserke Agro," located in the Almaty region.
Together with "Baiserke Agro," a new wheat variety called "Baitak" was planted to increase its use for agricultural purposes. Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Saparov Aidarbek Seipilovich and the Akim of Almaty region Marat Yeleusizovich Sultangaziev visited and expressed support for several projects.
In 2024, 80 second year biology students from the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology and 30 second-year ecology students from the Faculty of Geography completed their industrial practice at the educational agrobio laboratory.
Every year, the products of the educational agrobio laboratory are presented on the university grounds and at the city fair.
In the educational agrobio laboratory, domestic and international research projects and programs are being implemented, as shown below.
• Project title: Production and implementation of a new bifunctional plant growth stimulator with a fungicidal effect – "NANOQUQIRT". Lead: Mukhambetkali Myrzabaevich Burkitbayev.
• The name of the priority economic sector for which the project is submitted: Manufacturing industry. OKVED code 20.20 - Production of pesticides and other agrochemical products. Lead: Mukhambetkali Myrzabaevich BURKITBAYEV
A delegation arrived at the educational agrobio laboratory in collaboration with Shandong University of China to work on implementing innovative projects for the development of artificial intelligence.
