His biggest impact on Soviey agriculture was promoting vernalization (which is tricking autumn seed to growing in the spring by cooling them), which is a real phenomenon and useful in some cases like when you have a harsh winter. His claim that it could double crop yields however was very false. Most of his really kooky beliefs couldn't really be put into mass use. Like his real crime was stopping a lot of useful agricultural research for a decade.
