About the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Technologies The Department of Soil Science was established in 1953 as part of the Faculty of Biology and Soil Science at Samarkand State University. Professors D. Kuguchkov, X. Khandomov, Associate Professors S. Agisheva, G. Danov, S. Kigay, and other scholars have worked at the department, conducting research to solve a number of pressing issues in soil science. Among the scientists who emerged from the department, prominent scholars such as O. Komilov, I. Bobokhodayev, and O'. Matkarimov made significant contributions to the development of soil science in Uzbekistan. In 1996, the Soil Science program was reorganized under the Faculty of Soil Science and Ecology at Samarkand State University. Subsequently, the "Soil Science" department was re-established, with Associate Professor O'. Matkarimov, followed by Associate Professors T. Ortiqov and Sh. Kholiqov serving as heads of the department. Starting from 2000, with the goal of unifying faculties, the Faculty of Soil Science and Ecology was merged with the Faculty of Biology, and the Soil Science Department continued its work as a specialized department for training professionals.
