Ulaanbaatar, 2024 February 28
/MONTSAME/ The
Institute of Plant Protection Research has moved into a new research laboratory
complex.
In 1958, Mongolia began to cultivate its virgin land and develop
an agricultural industry based on science. The Institute was established to protect grain, potatoes, and vegetables from various
deceases, pesticides, rodents, weeds, and the pasture from rodents and locusts.
Today, for the first time, this Institute has a dedicated research laboratory
building.
With the designated research laboratory, the working
environment of researchers has improved, leading to more scientific inventions being
introduced into production and sets a great opportunity to make a valuable
contribution to the country's development.
Institute of Plant Protection Research works on identifying
the damage to agricultural plants: grain, potato, vegetable, propagator plants,
pasture, forest, the green structure decease, pestilential disease, rodent
animal, weed kind structure and its spread, and develop the progressive
technology and introduce it in production. The Institute also studies plant
protection preparations, pesticides, and the residue that the agriculture and
environment sector uses and develops a comprehensive methodology for plant
protection and introduces it in practice, which helps increase the harvest and makes
an important contribution to providing healthy and quality food to the people.
In recent years, the Institute has actively participated in the national movement "Billion Trees", initiated by the President of Mongolia, and as the management staff of the Institute said during the research laboratory opening, "the Institute researchers are working on forest protection from pesticides, pesticide decease, providing a healthy seedling, the crop field protection, and afforestation. In general, the Institute of Plant Protection Research plays an important role in food supply and safety, pasture protection, and forest protection in Mongolia.
With a total floor space of 3232 square meters, the new research laboratory complex is a 4-storey building having research laboratories, office rooms, cold storage rooms, and a sports recreation hall.
