This study aims to explore how China’s Northeast Agricultural Science Research Institute experimented and accepted the Michurin Theory in the 1950s. It also attempts to identify what changes have been made in the research institute.Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin was a respected Russian agricultural researcher. Michurin’s Theory has reflected the ideas of Marx’s materialism in the plant world.Northeast Agricultural Science Research Institute invited this Russian expert to hear the opinions. The Research Institute hosted the workshop between 1952 and 1953 that the participating researchers accepted and used Michurin’s Theory in their research. There were some Japanese researchers at Northeast Agricultural Science Research Institute even before 1945. However, it seemed unlikely that the Research Institute would not need the agricultural knowledge of the Japanese researcher since it actively accepted the Russia’s Theory. This also clearly indicates how the research institute responded to the government’s request.
