Description: 
The present Institute was organized about 1954, although apparently, 
an agricultural school was in existence prior to that date. Courses are 
offered in agronomy, vineyards, and mechanization of agriculture. Published 
work covers topics such as research on the synthesis of herbicides, reflec- 
tion of K-rays from absorbent and nonabsorbent crystal faces, distribution 
of nickel on the cathode during electrodeposition, and a method for measuring 
the temperature at the friction interface of metals. A Trudy is published, 
and Candidate's Degrees are granted.
