History of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution ‘D.N. Pryanishnikov All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Chemistry’
In 1931, the All-Union Institute of Fertilizers and Agricultural Soil Science (AIFASS) was created in the VASKhNIL (Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences) system to solve the problems of chemicalization of agriculture in the country. Since 1965, AIFASS has been named after D. N. Pryanishnikov.
In 1941, a Geographical network of field experiments with fertilizers was organized under the methodological guidance of AIFASS. In 1969, on the basis of the Central control agrochemical laboratory at AIFASS was created Central Scientific Research Institute of Agrochemical Service of Agriculture (CSRIASA) to further improve the scientific-methodical management of agrochemical service and implementation of mathematical methods and computer technologies in the management of chemicals, which became the scientific-methodical center of the network of centers and stations of the agrochemical service of Russia.

In 1981, the Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for its merits. Every year Pryanishnikov Institute of Agrochemistry developments are awarded with diplomas and field-specific exhibitions medals.
Usachev Ivan Ivanovich - from 1936 to 1941,
Polyakov Yuri Alekseevich from 1941 to 1947,
Pavlov Georgy Ivanovich - from 1947 to 1957,
Sotnikov Vladimir Petrovich - from 1962 to 1963
2003, by the Decree of the Russian Agricultural Academy CSRIASA and AIFASS were merged into the All-Russian Research Institute of Agrochemistry named after D.N. Pryanishnikov. Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.G. Sychev became the director of the Institute.
2014, in view of the reorganization of the state academies of Sciences, the Institute was renamed Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution All-Russian Research Institute of Agrochemistry named after D.N. Pryanishnikov (FSBSI ‘Pryanishnikov Institute of Agrochemistry’).
D.N. Pryanishnikov, his students and followers, who made a great contribution to the formation of the Institute, the definition of its tasks, the development of programs and methods of research are: D.A.

Pannikov, V.G. Mineev, L.M. Derzhavin and many other outstanding scientists.
1981, the Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for its merits. Every year Pryanishnikov Institute of Agrochemistry developments are awarded with diplomas and field-specific exhibitions medals.
After 2002, Pryanishnikov Institute of Agrochemistry was merged with the Central Scientific Research Institute of Agrochemical Service of Agriculture (CSRIASA).
For 90 years, the Institute has developed 331 recommendations, instructions, guidelines for the use of fertilizers, chemical meliorants and other means of chemicalization, as well as 33 technologies. To implement agrochemical, environmental-toxicological and radiological examination there were developed 68 defining normative documents, 112 GOST and 71 OST standards, 198 state and industry standard samples of soils, feed and agricultural products.
