The Faculty of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science was open in 1929. In 1990 it was renamed into the Faculty of Soil Science, Agricultural Chemistry and Ecology.
The Faculty provides training in two specialties and with qualification of an agronomist:
- Agricultural Chemistry and Agricultural Soil Science with specialization in quality expertise and certification of agricultural objects and production; agro-ecological and economic land evaluation; forest melioration of agro-landscapes and planting of greenery;
- Agro-ecology with specialization in ecological expertise; ecological safety in agro-industrial complex.
Scientists of the Faculty pay great attention to problems of recovery of land from radioactive and heavy metal contamination and chemical pollution. Problems of ecologically safe production and work safety at agro-industrial enterprises are also of great importance.
The Faculty comprises the following 13 Chairs: Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, Safety Living, Geology and Landscape Science, Forestry, Melioration and Geodesy, Microbiology, Non-organic and Analytic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Soil Science, Radiology, Physics, Physical and Colloid Chemistry, and Ecology. There are eight research laboratories, including agricultural chemistry, agronomic soil science, agro-ecology, nuclear technology in agriculture, forestry, microelements, and regulation of mineral nutrition with the use of polymers. Two museums, namely V.R.Williams Soil and Agronomy Museum, and Mineral and Geology Museum play an important role in specialist training.
Every year about 1,100 students, including international students, study at the Faculty.
Training is provided by highly skilled faculty members, including academicians of RASHN V.I.Kirjushin and N.P.Panov, a corresponding member of RASHN N.N.Dubenok, 36 professors, 72 associate professors and senior lecturers, 24 assistants, and 38 research scientists.
Graduates of the Faculty are known for their proficient basic knowledge. They are in great demand in management bodies of agricultural production, design organizations of land development, land banks, agro-chemical services, and agricultural firms where they can work as expert-ecologist, quality expert of agricultural and food production, specialists in ecological expertise of land resources, as well as research scientists of scientific and research institutes and educational institutions.
The Faculty conducts the research in the following directions: geography, genesis and soil fertility; agro-ecological land expertise; organic matter in soil; optimization of plant mineral nutrition; study of migration processes, transformation and uptake of macro-and micro elements in a system of soil-plant-biosphere; effect of heavy metals on crop yield and produce quality, soil fertility and environment; nuclear diagnostics and mobilization of biophilic elements from difficult to access soil forms; molecular acoustics of biological objects; and efficiency improvement of reclaimed land.
A number of scientific schools have been founded at the Faculty, which now have strong scientific traditions.
The School of Development of the soil forming and soil fertility conception with its founder - the academician V.R.Williams, and his successors at different time periods - the academician V.P.Bushinsky, professors S.P.Yarkov, I.P.Grechin, I.S.Kaurichev, academicians N.P.Panov and V.I.Kirjushin, professors V.I.Savich, N.F.Ganzhara, N.N.Ignatiev, V.D.Naumov, R.F.Baibekov, A.D.Fokin, A.I.Karpukhin, and others.
