Three Soviet scientists arrived in Israel today to study local agricultural techniques in combatting plant pests. The three, who conferred immediately on their arrival with Agriculture Minister Haim Gvati, are Dr. Y. Gussayev of Leningrad; Dr. H. Hedihyelly of Georgia, a woman scientist; and Dr. Tryapitsin of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
During their visit here, which was first proposed by Mr. Gvati in talks with Soviet Ambassador Dimitri Chuvakhin, the three scientists will study particularly biological anti-pest methods at the Agriculture Ministry’s Plant Protection Department.
