Abstract
The article reviews the current state, problems, and main achievements of scientific agrarian institutions in the Russian Far East. The structure of the arable land area for the main agricultural crops in the Far Eastern Federal District over 1990–2024 has been described. Over this period, a rapid increase was observed in the area of the arable land sown by soybean (around 68 % of the total arable land) and by grain corn – 1251 and 165 thousand ha, respectively. Simultaneously, a decrease was observed in the area of the arable land planted by grain and forage crops, potato, and vegetables. The paper reviews the main problems of horticulture – failure to follow the crop rotation guidelines and climate change with an increased number of tropical cyclones (typhoons) in Primorsky Kray, which leads to soil saturation and waterlogging, crop lodging, and the development of fungal, viral and bacterial diseases, and pests. The article presents high-priority research dedicated to the breeding of soybean, potato, corn, rice, and buckwheat and aimed at achieving the goals of The Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation. Over the last years, Far Eastern breeders created fifty-two new cultivars of agricultural crops recommended to use in the regional agricultural production: soybean – 17, wheat - 3, oat – 4, barley – 3, rice – 2, potato – 3, buckwheat – 1, bean – 1, tomato – 3, cucumber – 3, perennial grasses – 2, and fruit and berry crops – 10. Special attention is given to high-priority research areas in veterinary medicine, biotechnology, zootechnics, digital technologies and technologies of precision agriculture, and land improvement in the conditions of climate change.
