International cooperation
K.S. Under the leadership of Safarov, research is being conducted on the study and implementation of new plants that are not inferior to traditional plants in terms of productivity and nutrition in the world’s gene pool. Scientific research is being carried out in different soil and climate conditions of our republic in order to test and adapt new promising plants brought from different countries and to select varieties resistant to local conditions.
