 After graduating from university, V.M. Lukomets worked at the Krasnodar NIISKh by the name of Lukyanenko P.P. He rose from the rank of a laboratory assistant to a senior researcher (1988-1998). Then he was appointed as a director of the North Kuban agricultural experimental station of the Krasnodar NIISKh by the name of Lukyanenko P.P. (1998-2002). During this period, the work of the station was significantly improved both in scientific and in economic aspects.

  During his tenure as director of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Oil Crops (2002-2015), the material and technical base of the institute was significantly strengthened as well as its human resources. The institute was the leader of the scientific support of production of oil and essential oil crops in Russia. The institute conducts an extensive international collaboration. During the years of his leadership, the VNIIMK’s team submitted 159 hybrids, varieties and lines of oil crops to the State Register of the Selection Achievements Admitted for Usage in the Russian Federation. 148 of them were added to the State Register. 173 patents of breeding achievements and inventions were received.

   V.M. Lukomets published more than 210 research papers, including 18 books. In joint authorship he developed 20 hybrids and varieties of grain and oil crops, received 14 patents for breeding achievements, 8 invention patents and 6 utility model patents.

   The Hirsch index in the RSCI is 27.
