Agricultural science as the foundation of the future. Tambov Region

An apple tree is a central part of the Tambov region's landscape exposition. Under the tree there are fruits framed by flowers. The corners of the flowerbed are decorated with bright flower arrangements. What makes the flower bed special is that it looks equally good from all sides and it is an excellent photo zone.

There is a reason why the apple tree has become a key element of the flowerbed. The region is famous for its fruits. And the Michurin apples are a real brand of the Tambov region! Their history is closely related to the work of scientist I.V. Michurin, who was called the father of apples. And the city of Michurinsk is named after him.

Now it is the first and the only agro-industrial technopolis in Russia. A powerful potential of scientific research in the fields of genetics, breeding, biotechnology, ecology, development of production, storage and processing technologies is concentrated here.

Every year a festival under a name if "Michurinsk Apple Trees in Bloom" is held in Michurinsk. It is is included into the list of the 50 best events in the country. Also, a large-scale industry exhibition "Gardener's Day" annually brings together professionals from all over the country, and attracts foreign participants.
