Clock tower

In 1862, for the construction of the Forest Experimental Dacha, which was supposed to serve as a training ground for teaching students and conducting experimental work, the forestry scientist A. R. Vargas de Bedemar was invited, and the architect N. L. Benois was invited from St. Petersburg to rebuild the estate, who built (1863-1865) on the site of a dilapidated manor palace the main educational building with a clock tower and unique convex glass - the "building of auditoriums". On the top floor there is an assembly hall, two auditoriums and offices: physical, geodetic, building art and mineralogical; on the lower floor there were, in addition to the auditorium, a library, a professorial room and a council hall - zoological, technological and forestry rooms. A stone one-story outbuilding with a stable was built on the second floor and adapted to accommodate a chemical laboratory with a special auditorium. Another wing was also built on and it houses 48 rooms for students. On the site of the stone main greenhouse there is an agricultural museum, and in the second floor built - above the middle part and outbuildings - apartments.

On October 27, 1865, the Charter of the Academy was established, in the development of which the future first director of the Academy, Doctor of Botany N. I. Zheleznov and Professor of Chemistry P. A. Ilyenkov took part. According to paragraph number 1 of the statute, Petrovsky Agricultural and Forestry Academy was intended to disseminate information on agriculture and forestry. According to the Charter, the academy is an all-class and open higher educational institution with the possibility of free admission to students (without an educational qualification), the choice of subjects of study, without entrance and transfer exams. In terms of rights, the academy was placed above the one that already existed, because it was given the right to award not only the degree of a candidate, but also a master of agriculture. The administration of the academy was arranged under the authority of the department of agriculture and rural industry, the administration was entrusted to the director, the council and the economic committee. The course of study was focused on practical work in zemstvo institutions, estate management. AT educational process academic studies, experimental and selection work and agricultural practice were combined. In the first years, the academy had only two departments - agricultural and forestry, which trained about 400 students. V. G. Korolenko, who studied at the academy for some time, wrote: “All the hopes that revived the intelligentsia of that time were reflected in the charter of the academy, found their reflection in it.”

December 3, 1865 is considered the founding day of the academy, when the government decree on its opening was announced. On January 25, 1866, the opening of the lectures took place; in the large hall of the audience building (now the administrative building), the director of the academy N. I. Zheleznov delivered a speech addressed to the first listeners. Among the first professors were N. N. Kaufman, Ya. D. Golovin, V. E. Graff, V. T. Sobichevsky, I. A. Stebut, A. P. Stepanov, A. P. Zakharov, M. P. Shchepkin, I. K. Kossov, V. K. Della-Vos, E. M. Sokolovsky, P. A. Ilyenkov, N. E. Lyaskovskii, Ya. Ya. Tsvetkov, and I. B. Auerbakh

Since 1871, teaching began at the Academy of Horticulture and Horticulture.

In 1872, under the new director - F. P. Korolev, the efforts of K. A. Timiryazev and I. A. Stebut appeared the first growing house in Russia (exemplary greenhouse) - “an experimental station of a physiological type”.

From January 31, 1872, according to the new rules, only persons who presented a certificate of completion of the full course of the gymnasium began to be accepted as students, and mandatory annual tests were introduced for all students. During the seven years of the previous admission rule, out of 1111 students, only 139 had a certificate of a secondary educational institution. The full course of study lasted 4 years; a fee of 25 rubles per year was charged for listening to lectures, and 5 rubles for one subject. These rules were included in the new charter dated June 16, 1873 - from that time on, the academy became a state university.

On February 1, 1894, due to revolutionary sentiments among the students, the academy was closed and turned into the "Petrovsky-Razumovsky estate". It was supposed to arrange a women's institute here, as well as to transfer cavalry to it from Tver. military school. However, on June 6, 1894, a Moscow Agricultural Institute, the purpose of which is "to deliver to students in it a higher education in agriculture and in agricultural engineering"; On September 26, it was announced its opening. It was forbidden to accept former professors and students of the academy. Two departments were opened: agricultural and agricultural engineering. Common subjects for both departments were: geodesy, physics and meteorology, mineralogy and geology, soil science, botany, zoology, entomology, general and private agriculture, general zootechnics, fundamentals of political economy and statistics, agricultural economy, jurisprudence, the study of agricultural machines and tools , theology. The institute, according to the new charter, was a closed institution, in the hostel of which students were obliged to live. The size of the dormitory limited the number of students, there were no more than 200. Scholarships were established for those who had previously graduated from universities, and the time spent at the institute was credited as active public service - this should have contributed to the training of a sufficient number of agricultural specialists.

K. A. Rachinsky was appointed the first director of the institute, professor N. M. Kulagin was his assistant, and V. R. Williams and A. V. Martynov were members of the board. In 1904-1907, the director was A.P. Shimkov, since 1909 - I.A. Iveronov, in 1916-1917 - D.N. Pryanishnikov.

Botanical Garden[ | ]

In the period 1895-1898, Professor S. I. Rostovtsev founded a botanical garden. Speaking at a meeting of the Council of the Institute, Rostovtsev specifically noted that “... the arrangement of a botanical garden should begin from the very beginning: with the removal of weeds, earthworks, laying out, etc. It is necessary to conduct water, make adaptations for water, marsh, steppe, alpine and other plants…”; On December 12, 1895, the Council passed a resolution on the creation of a botanical garden and the allocation of 1,200 rubles for this, as well as for the maintenance in 1896. To create a botanical garden, a place was allocated behind the greenhouses with an area of ​​​​1030 square meters. sazhens, not far from the botanical office, where once, in the early years of the existence of the Petrovsky Academy, there was already a botanical garden. Professor S. I. Rostovtsev himself became the head of the garden.

Three departments were organized in the garden: systematic, biological and experimental. On the territory of the systematic department, representatives of families were gathered, the knowledge of which was considered necessary for agronomists; the biological department was created for the cultivation of species that require specific growing conditions - aquatic, alpine, marsh, steppe, etc. A reservoir and a rocky hill were created; their location, although the general layout of the garden changed more than once, remained unchanged. The purpose of the experimental department was to study the growth and development of plants, to conduct observations of plants, and on the territory of the experimental department planted not yet identified species or species recently introduced into central Russia.

After the death of S. I. Rostovtsev, the botanical garden was headed (1916-1918) by professor of plant physiology N. N. Khudyakov.

breeding station[ | ]

To late XIX century is the birth of the breeding station. In 1903, an assistant at the Department of General Agriculture and Soil Science, D. L. Rudzinsky, with the assistance of V. R. Williams, began the first systematic work on the selection of wheat, oats and potatoes, and since 1905 - peas in the experimental field. These works laid the foundation for the breeding station of the institute. In 1906, the first promising varieties were sown, and already in 1908, at the All-Russian Exhibition in St. Petersburg, D. L. Rudzinsky was awarded the Big Gold Medal for the work done and the varieties he created.

Since 1907, practical classes with students of the academy began to be held at the selection station; in 1912, N. N. Chernetsov built a two-story building with a basement for food storage.

In 1909, a land allotment was allocated to the breeding station, funds began to be issued, a separate material and financial balance appeared, and the schedule of duties was approved. D. L. Rudzinsky took the most authoritative at that time Svalef breeding station in Sweden as a model of organization. On January 1, 1913, the breeding station was formalized and accepted at the state expense, and D. L. Rudzinsky was appointed its head. During the First World War until 1917 he was replaced by S. I. Zhegalov; then, until March 1922 - the moment Rudzinsky left for the Baltic states, the duties of the head were performed by L. I. Govorov (1885-1941), who was his deputy in 1915-1921.

For 20 years at the station, D. L. Rudzinsky bred 13 varieties of winter wheat, 11 - oats, 11 - peas, 18 - potatoes, 1 - fiber flax. For development theoretical foundations selection and evaluation of breeding samples, he organized cytological, chemical and flour-grinding and baking laboratories.

In 1932, the breeding station became part of the Moscow Selection Center (now it is the Moscow Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture "Nemchinovka" of the Russian Agricultural Academy). In 1948, the breeding station was restored in the structure of the Timiryazsky Agricultural Academy, but already as its educational unit.

Timiryazev Agricultural Academy[ | ]

After 1917, a new stage in the history of the academy began: its name was restored - the Petrovsky Agricultural Academy, the charter and organizational structure academy, new curricula and programs have been created. In December 1923, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided: "To rename the Petrovsky Agricultural Academy into the Agricultural Academy named after K. A. Timiryazev".

Moscow State University Forests is a specialized university that trains specialists in working with forest lands.

Specialties: 3 Cost:

Agricultural universities train specialists of the agrarian complex. The country's policy is aimed at the revival of agriculture. Huge loans and other all kinds of assistance are being allocated, but there are not enough personnel to organize successful production. Most of the food the country buys from abroad, although there are vast areas suitable for raising livestock and growing crops. Also, agricultural universities train specialists in the water sector, which develops cattle breeding and the cultivation of various crops.

For admission to agricultural universities in Moscow, you will need knowledge of English language. It is necessary for the development of foreign equipment and devices that occupy a leading position in this area. Deep knowledge of biology, soil science and chemistry will also be required. Behind large crops are the work of geneticists and chemists. Geneticists crossbreed and modify different varieties to develop more resistant to external conditions and fruit-bearing species.

Agricultural education

Agricultural crops are very popular. Although the Moscow region is not the best for agricultural activities, it is easier to conclude contracts for the purchase of fertilizers and the supply of their products to city stores. But getting on the shelves of the capital is not so easy. You should start working in the regions, and already having a stable business, try to establish sales in large cities.

Education received at an agricultural university is considered quite promising. There are huge opportunities for a university graduate to start their own business or get a job in an existing enterprise. In addition, there is an opportunity to get a job abroad, moreover, both in the nearest CIS and in European countries.

List of agricultural institutes, universities

In addition to specialists in the food industry, agricultural universities train specialists, ecologists, geologists and surveyors. Geologists enjoy great popularity due to the growth of industry and the increase in the volume of mining. The same is true for ecologists. The growth of industry is causing a demand for ecologists - specialists who do not allow environmental pollution.

Some universities in this sector graduate landscape designers. In Russia, the level of well-being is growing, and wealthy citizens began to think about the design of their suburban areas. Landscape designers help to shape the space by dividing it into different zones and creating favorable conditions for the growth of appropriate plants.

As we can see, agricultural universities provide a huge range of different professions, having mastered which you can build a successful career. At the same time, most professions bring real benefits to society and are considered necessary. food industry develops and grows along with population growth. And the growth rate of the number of people on earth is not slowing down, so that graduates of such universities will be able to find a decent job. Students are only required to study the material diligently.
