The Omsk Experimental Plant (a branch of the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center) is creating a breeding combine for the Urals, Siberia, and Northern Kazakhstan. A prototype will be presented by the summer of 2026. The machine will be half the price of imported analogues and adapted to difficult climatic conditions.
Maxim Chekusov, Director of the Omsk ASC, explained that the combine is designed to work with small fields where it is important to maintain the purity of the variety.
There may be only a few kilograms of grain, and every single grain must come out of the combine and be packaged. And if even one grain gets into a batch of another variety, it will immediately affect the results.
Kirill Yankovsky, the plant's director, noted that the equipment will receive electronic control systems. This will reduce dependence on staff shortages. The combine will be certified for sales in Russia and abroad.
The Omsk ASC was formed after the merger of three research institutes. The center received a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science to modernize breeding equipment.
