The foundation for the establishment of the Institute was the establishment of the Turkestan Entomological Station in Tashkent in 1911, on the initiative of the famous entomologist-scientist V.I. Plotnikov. On the basis of this station, in 1925, the Uzbek Plant Protection Station was established, and in 1931, this station became part of the All-Union Cotton Institute and was called the Central Laboratory of Plant Protection.
