IVAN F. BORODIN - MEMBER OF THE ALL-UNION ACADEMY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES

The paper describes the life path and the main stages of the scientific and pedagogical activity of Ivan Fedorovich Borodin, Member of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences (VASKHNIL), laureate of the State prize and two prizes of the Russian Government, honored worker of science and technology of the RSFSR, honorary worker of higher education of the Russian Federation. The scientist laid the theoretical foundations for using non-linear capacitors as sensors in agricultural automation devices. His recommendations were widely used in practice by design organizations involved in the development of domestic electric agricultural equipment. I.F. Borodin studied in detail the effect of natural and industrial electromagnetic fields on the development of plants and animals, as well asdeveloped an effective bioelectric method for diagnosing the physiological state of seeds. He made a significant contribution to the development of the theory and practice of optoelectronic technology for sorting agricultural materials. Ivan F. Borodin thoroughly studied the electrophysical properties of several dozen types of agricultural products. The knowledge gained was widely used in the development of automated machines for sorting, calibrating and cleaning grains, fruits and vegetables. The scientist was the first to use microwave energy to change the properties of biological objects. A research laboratory was established under his scientific supervision to develop competitive technologies implementing the effects of electromagnetic fields of ultrahigh and extremely high frequencies on plants and animals. Fundamentally new resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies, universal technical means of quality control of agricultural raw materials and products of its processing developed by the scientific school of I.F. Borodin have been introduced in 68 Russian regions. By their indicators, these products rank among the best world analogues. Ivan Borodin was the founder and Head of the Department of Automation of Agricultural Production, the author of a number of new academic courses. He published more than 600 scientific papers, 47 textbooks, study manuals and monographs, registered 105 copyright certificates and patents in the field of automation and electrotechnological support of agricultural production. He supervised 48 PhD and 28 DSc holders.
