Academician Bagrat Sandukhadze |
... I can not live without wheat, without hybrids, without finding a new one. How can winter wheat be without me? And people should be provided with bread, because, as Nekrasov said, “no lump of gold will outweigh the crumb of bread”.

He has about 200 scientific publications, also abroad, three monographs, 15 copyright certificates. The works are devoted to the improvement of the methodological foundations of winter wheat breeding for productivity, winter hardiness, resistance to lodging and harmful pathogens. Creator of 15 varieties of winter wheat "Zarya", "Yantarnaya 50", "Nemchinovskaya 52", "Nemchinovskaya 86", "Moscow low stem", "Inna", "In memory of Fedin", "Moscow 39" (1999), "Galina", "Angelina", "Nemchinovskaya 24", "Moskovskaya 56", "Nemchinovskaya 57", "Moskovskaya 40", "Nemchinovskaya 17". As noted on the RAS website: “With the creation of the Moscow 39 variety, unique in the combination of high yield and high grain quality, the own production of winter wheat food grain in the center of Russia became real” [5] .
B. I. Sandukhadze made a scientific breakthrough in the selection of winter wheat, creating for the first time conditions of the Central Region a new type of variety - short stem, hardy, resistant to lodging and the most harmful pathogens, with high grain quality and productivity potential over 10 tons of grain per hectare.

Quotes
- I am convinced that selection mainly is an art ... I can only guess how the hybrids will behave. That is, every year is born a sort. This is about the same as if a child was born in the family every year. But it is very difficult to predict who will make it out of it - a writer, a singer, an engineer. Everyone is born with his own genetic bias and goes his own way, you only need to manage to understand, grope, direct this natural way [7] .
- Now in the world about 650 million tons of grain are produced, and we [Russia] are able to produce half of this quantity. (2015) [2]
- Saving agriculture is necessary so that the earth does not remain as bald as my head. It's time to give up plowing. (2016) [8]
