Altai State Agricultural University (ASAU)
The Altai State Agricultural University (ASAU) is one of the oldest universities of the Altai Region. The University was founded in 1943 on the basis of the Pushkinskiy Agricultural Institute which was evacuated to the Altai Region from Leningrad.
The ASAU is both an agricultural education center and agricultural science center of the Region. The main research activities of the University are as following:
1) Soil evaluation, forecasting soil fertility and rational use of land resources; soil thermal physics and soil thermal improvement; anthropogenic effect on soil thermal-physic state.
2) The development of effective technologies of soil fertility improvement and the techniques of efficient application chemicals in agriculture and animal production.
3) Highly efficient development and use of reclaimed lands and water resources.
4) Highly efficient, adapted to the market and local conditions systemic agriculture and energy-saving crop cultivation technologies, biologization of agriculture and tillage minimization.
5) Adaptive potential of spring cereal crops and forage crops on zonal and saline soils.
6) Optimization of operational parameters and regimes of tillage implements, and the improvement of their design.
7) Pedagogical foundations of continuous agricultural education under market conditions, the development of effective education technologies at undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
8) Scientific and methodological support of land evaluation activities, the development of land management projects based on adaptive-landscape agriculture; agro-ecologic monitoring.
