The presentation on the topic "Nikolái Ivánovich Vavílov en Argentina: la expedición científica de 1932-1933" highlighted the main results of the scientist's trip, during which he collected a unique collection of seeds and plant samples, as well as studied the experience of Argentine colleagues in the field of wheat and oat breeding. As noted in the report, it was N. I. Vavilov who laid the foundations for scientific cooperation between Russia and Argentina, which continues today. In particular, the Rostov region actively cooperates with Argentina in the field of agriculture.
