Among them are plants biology and physiology, genetics, soil science, agricultural chemistry, etc. The fruit growing category which reflects a wide range of industry questions has been formed as profiling separately and it is replenished by new arrivals. The reference information collection is presented there by encyclopedias and reference books on different branches of knowledge in the written form and electronic variant. The replenishment of the main library fund (in written and electronic variants forms) is carried out by the means of literature purchasing via the Distributing center of libraries, attendance of book exhibitions, via International Community of Horticultural Sciences and by international book exchange.
