One cannot guess how a word functions. One has to look at its use and learn from that. But the difficulty is to remove the prejudice which stands in the way of doing this. It is not a stupid prejudice.
Strengthening Cooperation with Chinese Partners in Plant Pathology and Plant Protection
Kozybayev University has maintained close cooperation with Northwest A&F University, one of China's leading agricultural universities located in Yangling, for the past 10 years. The partnership includes dual-degree master's programs, student academic exchanges, and extensive scientific research in agriculture, water resources, and food security.
This week, a delegation of Chinese partners visited our University, including professors from the College of Plant Protection Zhan Gangming, Li Yiping, and Yuan Xiangqun, as well as doctoral students Mukhtarova Umida and Olimov Avazbek. The University also welcomed Liu Lei, Deputy General Director of Pherobio Technology Kazakhstan, the regional representative office of a major Chinese biotechnology company specializing in environmentally friendly plant protection.
During the visit, the Chinese delegation toured the University's Agrobiological Station and explored its research infrastructure and experimental facilities.
At a meeting with the faculty members of the Faculty of Agrotechnology, the researchers presented their main research areas, shared scientific findings, and discussed prospects for further cooperation.
Particular attention was paid to plant pathology, monitoring agricultural pests and crop diseases, protecting fruit crops, and developing environmentally friendly plant protection methods.
An important outcome of the meeting was the establishment of cooperation with the College of Plant Protection at Northwest A&F University. The partnership will involve joint research, the exchange of scientific expertise, academic mobility, and the participation of young researchers in international research projects.
This partnership will lay the foundation for developing practical solutions in plant protection that are relevant to the agricultural sectors of Kazakhstan and China.
