Scientific and Practical Centre for Arable Farming offers consumers magazine "Agriculture and plant growing" under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The journal "Agriculture and Plant Growing" has been published since 1998 and is the leading scientific agronomic publication in Belarus. For many years, its pages have published articles by well-known and young scientists conducting research in the field of agriculture, plant growing, selection and plant protection.

In October 1998, the first issue of the journal was published under the name "Ahova Raslin". In 2020, the activation of innovation processes in key sectors of the agricultural complex - agriculture and plant growing, led to a further expansion of the journal's subject matter and its new name "Agriculture and Plant Growing".

The journal covers the achievements of agricultural science, the experience of introducing modern resource-saving technologies for the production of biologically complete plant products, the results of scientific research on improving the fertility of agricultural soils, cost-effective and environmentally friendly use of plant protection products against pests, diseases and weeds.

By decision of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the journal is included in the list of publications recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission for the publication of scientific articles by applicants for the academic degrees of Doctor and Candidate of Sciences, thus the journal provides great assistance in training highly qualified scientific personnel in Belarus and the Commonwealth countries. The breadth of topics covered in the journal is of undoubted interest to managers and agronomists of agricultural enterprises, researchers, teachers and students of agricultural universities and colleges.

Main sections of the journal:
— "Agrotechnology"
— "Potato growing"
— "Agrochemistry"
— "Vegetable growing"
— "Plant protection"
— "Fruit growing"
— "Flax growing"
— "Information"
— "Breeding and seed production"

The Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Arable Farming is the leading research institution in the agricultural sector of Belarus.

The main scientific activity of the Scientific and Practical Center for Agriculture is the comprehensive development of issues of cost-effective production of crop products while observing environmental protection requirements.

The main goal is to create highly productive varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops, improve the seed production system, ensure the intensification of the crop production industry based on the development of zonal farming systems adapted to specific soil and climatic conditions, develop highly effective technologies for cultivation, application of fertilizers and plant protection products.

Main tasks:
• Creation of new competitive varieties and hybrids of grain, leguminous, cereal, industrial and forage crops with improved economically useful characteristics, possessing high and stable productivity, resistance to lodging, diseases and pests, frost and winter hardiness, combining high responsiveness to soil fertility and resistance to limiting environmental factors.
• Development of complex, economically and biologically sound land use systems based on the principles of greening and resource and energy conservation, ensuring sustainable productivity of arable land, reduced energy costs and production costs, expanded reproduction of soil fertility.
• Development of highly efficient, resource-saving technologies for the integrated use of macro- and microfertilizers for new varieties and agricultural crops, ensuring the formation of high yields and quality of plant products at the level of required standards.
• Use of the National Seed Bank of Genetic Resources of Economically Useful Plants as an object of national heritage for the purposes of collection, preservation, study and practical application in selection, production and for interstate exchange.
• Development of new forms of complex fertilizers, balanced in terms of nutrient ratios, for major agricultural crops, taking into account their biological characteristics and soil fertility.
• Development and implementation of resource-saving integrated systems for protecting agricultural crops from pests, diseases and weeds in the conditions of adaptive farming.
• Development and improvement of highly efficient resource-saving zonal systems of melioration farming and grassland management, ensuring increased productivity of reclaimed lands, sustainable functioning of agroecosystems, conservation and rational use of natural resources.

Main areas of activity and areas of cooperation:
• Creation and evaluation of source material for selection of grain and industrial crops, perennial grasses using genetic and biotechnological methods.
• Creation of new varieties and hybrids of grain, leguminous, cereal, industrial crops with improved economically useful characteristics, resistant to lodging, diseases and pests, frost and winter hardiness, combining high responsiveness to soil fertility and resistance to limiting environmental factors.
• Development of complex economically and biologically sound land use systems based on the principles of greening and resource and energy conservation, ensuring sustainable productivity of arable land, reduced energy costs and production costs, expanded reproduction of soil fertility.
• Creation of highly productive varieties of perennial legumes and cereal grasses with increased competitiveness in agrophytocenoses and stable seed productivity, heterotic hybrids of corn and semi-sugar fodder beet, ensuring sustainable seed production in the conditions of Belarus.
• Development of contractual agro-zoo-economic business plans for profitable farming.

The quality management system for conducting research and development work and producing seeds of higher reproductions at the Republican Unitary Enterprise “Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Arable Farming” complies with the requirements of STB ISO 9001 – 2015.
