In the KASIB nursery 52 samples are studied

The Department of crop selection of SPCFG named after A.I. Barayev works as part of the international project KASIB (Kazakhstan-Siberian Nursery).

The nursery combines the leading breeding organizations of Kazakhstan and Russia, which have the opportunity to test their promising spring wheat lines in various ecological zones.

The initiator of this project is the representative of the International Center SIMMIT A.I. Morgunov, who together with academician K.K. Karabayev visited the field of the intensive spring type soft wheat breeding group.

In the KASIB nursery 52 samples are studied.

The advantage of local samples in comparison with foreign ones was noted. In addition, the weather conditions of this year made it possible to evaluate breeding material for resistance to drought, and to identify samples resistant to stress factors.
