To 75th anniversary of Institute of Plant Protection of NAAS of Ukraine. The phytopatological schools

Abstract

Goal. To analyze the development of phytopathological research at the Institute of Plant Protection of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine and to characterize the scientific schools of phytopathologists.
 Methods. Information about the life of phytopathologists, reflected in the literature and their personal affairs.
 Results. Schools of phytopathologists have been formed at various stages of scientific research to address the most important issues related to plant protection at the Institute of Plant Protection of NAAS. Among students of Corresponding members of NAS of Ukraine V.P. Muraviov candidates of sciences V.M. Lopatin, V.A. Markhasiova and Yu.M. Shelud’ko worked in institute during long time, solving a number of phytopathological problems. The students of Academician of NAAS V.F. Peresypkin M.P. Lisovyi, P.O. Mel’nyk, M.P. Goncharenko, V.O. Fedorova, V.I. Shkodenko, L.M. Shelekhova, O.K. Kondratiuk, T.G. Zrazhevs’ka, V.S. Fedorenko, V.Yu. Kornienko, L.S. Loboda realized the wide spectrum of scientific investigations on revealing of the mechanisms of agricultural crops’ resistance against pathogens of the most dangerous diseases and working out of the system of planting measures. Academician of NAAS M.P. Lisovyi created the school of plant immunologists. Thanks to the efforts of Corresponding members of NAAS D.D. Sigariova agricultural nematology became the full section of agricultural phytopathology; the scientific school of nematologists was formed. The main direction of school of Doctor Sciences (Agr.), Professor S.V. Retman is modernization of the systems of field crop integrated protection from diseases. Some of phytopathologists, which were trained by N.I. Saluns’ka, V.M. Lopatin, V.A. Markhasiova, V.S. Chaban, S.V. Lysenko, V.G. Sergienko, linked their activity with Institute of Plant Protection, directing efforts to solve numerous scientific and practice problems.
 Conclusions. The successful training of scientists on agricultural phytopathology will greatly contribute to further development of agrarian science, and a wide its introduction to production — to solve of state tasks on strengthening of food security of the country.
