Horticulture Laboratory
In the Horticulture Laboratory of Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University, various researches and investigations are carried out in the fields of fruit, vegetables, vineyards, and ornamental plants. These research topics include studies and researches on the introduction of horticultural crops, sexual and asexual reproduction methods, cultivation in the open and greenhouse, creation of fruit, vegetable, and vineyard areas. The Horticulture laboratory has the infrastructure to perform various chemical, biochemical and physical analyzes on the plant samples obtained during these various types of research, starting from the seed germination to the post-harvest processes.
Biotechnology Laboratory
The objectives of the Biotechnology Laboratory of the Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University are to provide an investigation of agriculturally important genes (transferring from close relatives of cultivars, local cultivars, improved cultivars, and breeding lines with marker-assisted selection technique), identification and characterization of plant species or varieties, bacteria, fungi, etc., and determination of the relative degree of genetic relationship between them, evaluation of the resistance mechanisms against pests and disease factors by researching biotic and abiotic stress factors. In this context, the laboratory has the necessary technical and hardware infrastructure to carry out above-mentioned studies.
Cold Storage Chambers
Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University, Faculty of Agriculture has three cold storage chambers. Seed and post-harvest storage operations are carried out in these cold chambers. In addition, the physiological responses of plants to cold and chilling stress are investigated within these cold chambers.
Field Crop Laboratory
The objectives of the Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University Field Crops Laboratory are to provide education and research on Field Crops, and for this purpose, it covers the examination of all factors (environmental, climate, soil, plant genotype) affecting crop production and the optimization of appropriate techniques to obtain higher yields and better quality. In addition, studies are carried out on the biological characteristics and detailed study of cultivation of certain Field Crops (cereals, legumes, industrial, fodder, medicinal and aromatic and energy crops), weed control, and principles and technologies of organic farming.
Soil and Plant Nutrition Laboratory
The Soil and Plant Nutrition Laboratory was established in 2017. Currently, work is underway to procure the necessary equipment and machinery to build the infrastructure. Once the relevant equipment is acquired, the laboratory will be able to conduct various soil analyses, measure macro- and microelements in soil and plants, as well as perform other related tests and research.
