INTRODUCTION A. Project Goals and Objectives USAID’s Agricultural Value Chain (AVC) Activity supports Development Objective #1 under the Regional Development Cooperation Strategy (RDCS) – Expanded Diverse and Competitive Trade and Markets. Specifically, the Activity contributes to Intermediate Result (IR) 1.1 – A More Diverse Private Sector, and IR 1.2 – Enhanced Agricultural Competitiveness and Food Security. In support of this Development Objective, the AVC Activity seeks to: (1) create employment opportunities; (2) improve incomes; (3) increase fruit yield and quality; (4) increase packed and processed output; (5) increase targeted fruit and vegetable exports; (6) link USAID’s producers and processors to international markets; (7) strengthen relationships between educational institutions and the private sector. 2. Project Components AVC is organized into four Components, linked by cross-cutting themes, all targeted at economic actors along select fruit and vegetable (F&V) value chains. The mandate of each Component is: Component 1: improve the quality and volume of agricultural production; Component 2: improve post-harvest handling and production; Component 3: facilitate market linkages; and Component 4: link educational institutions with private sector demand. 3. Geographic and Commodity Focus AVC will work in 33 districts across 12 of the 13 provinces of Uzbekistan with activities in at least one district of each province plus the city of Tashkent. A grand total of 34 geographic entities are covered by AVC representing significant geographic expansion since the original AgLinks (AL; 2008-11) and AgLinks Plus (ALP; 2011-15) projects. # Province Districts AL ALP AVC Total 1 Samarkand Taylok Payarik Samarkand Urgut Bulungur 3 5 5 2 Namangan Pop Turakurgan Uychi Kosonsoy Chortok Yangikurgan 2 6 6 3 Ferghana Kuvasoy Ferghana Kuva Altyaryk 1 4 4 4 Tashkent Ohangaran Bustonlik Zangiata Parkent Kibray 5 5 5 Andijan Andijan Bulokboshi Hujaobad Marhamat Jalakuduk Kurgantepa 5 6 6 Bukhara Jondor 1 1 7 Karakalpakstan Nukus 0 1 8 Jizzakh Bakhmal 0 1 9 Kashkadarya Kitab 0 1 10 Navoi Khatirchi 0 1 City Tashkent plus 11 Syrdarya Syrdarya 0 1 12 Khorezm Bogot 0 1 Sub-Totals 6 26 33 34 Table 1: AVC Geographic Focus by Province, including Tashkent City Although it is generally agreed AVC will focus on edible horticulture, the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between USAID and the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources (MAWR) did not designate specific crops for project activities. Project expertise embodied in its staff and accumulated knowledge over the previous projects is greatest in stone fruits, pome fruits and grapes which is extended to vegetables and gourds (melons) under AVC. II. BACKGROUND The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 obligation is expected to be in the $2-2.2 million range and all indications are these funds must last into the first quarter of FY 2018 leaving roughly 6 months to the end of the contract. Assuming the expected FY 2017 obligation is $2.2 million and obligated in November 2016 then 12 months later the project will have a total obligation of $5,623,000 or 50% of the original contract. It is highly unlikely the remaining 50% of the contract will be obligated in November 2017 for disbursement by the end of the project in late May 2018. The FY 2017 AVC planning and budgeting outlined below reflects this reduced funding and time horizon while still seeking to achieve the originally stated objectives and targets of a fully funded program. A. Situational Information Concerning Program Objective The most important situational information (i.e., progress, delays and implementation issues) from FY2016 was the lack of a signed MOU between USAID and the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources (MAWR) legally authorizing the AVC project in Uzbekistan. AVC staff found ways and means to implement project related activities without an MOU and using the only legal document authorizing DAI Global, Ltd.’s presence in-country (Resident Representation status). AVC implemented project activities in FY2016 for 29 of the 52 weeks without an MOU and using only the Resident Representation status as the legal basis for operations. A signed MOU by both parties was effective on 6th September 2016 and the project held an official Launch Event within 10 days of the MOU signing. Resident Representation status is intended for private international companies exploring possible investment opportunities within Uzbekistan and are reviewed and issued by the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investment and Trade (MFERIT). Some typical USAID project type activities can be justified under this status while others cannot. Through local legal representation and guidance from MAWR staff responsible for project coordination and oversight a subset of expected USAID project activities could be legally implemented without the MOU. Some of these restrictions included - no large scale trainings, as these required official project recognition, - no sponsoring of Uzbek citizens not employees of DAI Uzbekistan on external travel - no direct engagement with public institutions - no expatriate travel outside the capital city - no expansion of project activities to new provinces and districts - limited to working with private sector partners on one-by-one basis While these limitations did not completely shut down AVC activities, as the following report recounts, they did pose significant problems to achieve the scale of activities and impact expected in the original contract. It should also be noted that two major deviations from this list of proscribed activities were achieved by the direct intervention of both the USAID Country Office and the US Embassy in Uzbekistan via specific and official Diplomatic Notes (DN) submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in consultation with MAWR. These two activities were the year-long support to the tissue culture lab at the Mirzaev Horticultural Research Institute (a public institution) and the university exchange visit to Latvian Agrarian University (LAU) by a delegation of Uzbek academics.

Ikboljon Kobiljon ugli Nosirov Independent Researcher, Department of Plant Science, Andijan Branch of Tashkent State Agrarian University, Kuyganyor-160700, Andijan, Uzbekistan. DOI: https://doi.org/10.36713/epra3815 ABSTRACT With the use of resource-saving agro-technology and processing with a new combination aggregate in autumn, cotton yield of 37.9-40.4 c/ha was obtained from the variants where the 50% annual rate of 200 kg/ha norm of nitrogen was applied in the form of liquid ammonia under the ridges and the remaining 50% of liquid ammonia was used during the growing period of cotton plant in the form of ammonium salt petre by stratification. In these variants cotton seeds were sown in single-row and double-row methods. They produced additional yield of 4.1-5.9 c/ha compared to the control variants and the highest economic efficacy was achieved. Net profit from these variants constituted 2079,1-2793.7 thousand sums, profitability rate was 52.3-68.4%, in comparison with control variants, the net profit was 1127,7-1569,3 thousand sums more while the profitability rate was 29,1%.

Key Words: variety, line, hybrid, selection, control, nursery, transparent, gluten, percent. 1. INTRODUCTION: Scientific-research works are being carried out organizing selection process extensively in order to create soft and hard varieties of wheat that produce much grain and respond to industry needs in irrigated condition of the world grain growing [4]. Application a number of measures is a great importance of selection, to increase the amount of plant protein, in particular, wheat protein as well. To achieve the quality of grain, especially, the quantity of protein and gluten is essential to increase the grain quality at the same time of wheat harvest. These indicators like ecological and agro technical point are concerned for most respect with the biological and genetic attributes of the variety [5].

No 170600, Kuyganyor str., 3, Andijan, Uzbekistan Abstract: In short double cropping systems 2:1, the cultivation of soybean as a second crop after winter wheat, and after soybean the cultivation of intercrops in autumn such as oats, green peas and rye in combination, and plowing of land with crop organic residues (roots and stubbles) after harvesting them in spring have resulted in increasing of humus and nitrogen in soil, the mass of soil and the capability of water permeability, and also allowed to easy absorption of phosphorous compounds which were difficult to absorb due to decomposition of this organic residue. As a result, the yield of cotton planted after them was increased.
