Sanginov, Bobo

Tajik agronomist Bobo Sanginov was born in the village of Rarz in
the Aini district of Leninabad on May 16, 1935. He joined the CPSU in
1959.
Sanginov graduated from the Uroteppa Agronomy School in 1953
and from the Faculty of Agronomy of the Institute of Agriculture of
Tajikistan in 1958. In 1953, he became the Director of the Mu'minabad
Agricultural Division. In 1958 and 1959, he participated in the efforts at
improving cotton production in the Vakhsh region. Between 1959 and
1962, he did post-graduate studies. In 1962 and 1963, he was Director
of the Seed Production Station.
Sanginov's research deals with the development of the mahina type
of cotton. The mahina type No. 5595-B, which he created, was planted
in the Vakhsh region in 1964. He became a degree candidate in agri-
culture in 1967 and a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sci-
ences of Tajikistan in 1976. In 1970, he created a new type 6465-B,
which yields three times more cotton than 5595-B. In subsequent years,
Sanginov improved the yield of his model for a steadily better product.
Sanginov's contributions include, Nav'i Pakhtai Sovetii Mahinnakh
5595-B (The Soviet Cotton of the Type Mahinnakh 5595-B, Dushanbe,
