Back to Program Areas

This program area focuses on improving the production practices of plants grown in yards and landscapes. Emphasis is placed on 1) decreased use of pesticides and 2) increased water use efficiency.

Within program areas, reporting categories focus on specific issues, topics, crops or animal products. Working groups plan, implement, and evaluate projects and activities within the reporting category. They are led by "coordinators", which may be the State Extension Specialist or another Extension faculty member with expertise in that area.

Campus-based partners include the Departments of Plant Sciences, Entomology, Soil, Water and Environmental Sciences, Agricultural and Resource Economics, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, and the Water Resources Research Center.
