Dokuchayev is the state/public higher education institution of IV level of accreditation which is subordinated to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The university is located in the village of Dokuchaevs’ke (the suburb of Kharkiv city), Kharkiv Raion, Kharkiv Oblast.

History

The roots of the University began in the Agricultural Institute, founded on 5 October, 1816 in Marymont (the suburb of Warsaw, Poland) by the Decree of emperor Alexander І[1][2].The Agricultural Institute was renamed into the Marymont Institute of Agriculture and Forestry after joining to it the Warsaw Forest School[3] in 1840[4]. In 1862 the Institute was relocated to the Pulawy in the Lublin province, where it was named the Nowoaleksandryjski Institute of Agriculture and Forestry. The Institute was in Pulawy before the World War I. In 1914, it was evacuated to Kharkiv[1].

In 1921, the institute was rebuilt under the new name of Kharkiv Agricultural Institute[5].

In 1941, the Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour for persistent productive work in the training of highly qualified personnel for agriculture and due to the its125th anniversary[5].

The Institute was evacuated to the city of Kattakurgan of the Uzbek SSR during World War II. In October 1944, it was returned to Kharkiv[5].

The Institute was given the name of the outstanding soil scientist of V.V. Dokuchayev on the occasion of his 100th birth in March 1946[5].

The Institute in 1966 was awarded the Certificate of Honour of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR because of the success in the training of highly qualified personnel for agriculture and due to the 150th anniversary of the Institute foundation[5].

In 1991, the Institute was transformed into the Kharkiv State Agrarian University named after V.V. Dokuchayev. National status to the University was granted in March 2002[5].

Among the plants in the dendrology park, there are such rare species as the Curly birch (Betula pendula var. carelica), Ginkgo (Ginkgo bilŏba), Betula humilis, Taxus baccata and Pinus strobus[8], listed in the Red Book of Ukraine[7].
