YCEDA works with researchers to find solutions to desert agriculture’s pressing problems. In this video on Fusarium wilt of lettuce, Dr. Barry Pryor, shares disease management strategies based on current research and plans for ongoing research. This material is based on work supported by the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce Research Council.
What’s up with Indoor Vertical Farming in Yuma? Robert Colangelo, Green Sense Farms, talks about his innovative way of farming and how it might work in Yuma. The Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation is working with Green Sense Farms as part of their focus on bringing value-added food processors to Yuma.
Want to know what’s going on at the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture? Paul Brierley, our executive director, explains what we have accomplished in the first 2 years and also discusses current and upcoming projects that we are collaborating on with other UofA researchers. Our goal is to have a rapid response to desert agriculture’s most pressing problems.
One of the pressing needs in desert agriculture is disease mitigation. We teamed up with Dr. Barry Pryor, from the University of Arizona, to help find some answers. In this video on Lettuce Drop in Iceberg Lettuce, Dr. Pryor shares disease management strategies based on current research and plans for ongoing research. This material is based on work supported by the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce Research Council.
Sharon Megdal spoke to the Agriculture industry and community in Yuma Arizona about working together to address Arizona water resource challenges.
Here's an update on our research on Fusarium Wilt of Lettuce from leading researchers, Dr. Barry Pryor and Dr. Michael Matheron from the UofA.
As part of our Center of Excellence Seminar Series, Sergio Cardona, Technical Director, Samtec, Inc. and former Raytheon engineer, presents about the use of high-tech sensors in precision agriculture.
Our director, Paul Brierley, tackles a hot topic here in the Southwest: Ag water conservation and the implications of various conservation methods. There are many misnomers about this topic and Paul brings to light the realities of some suggested solutions to the water problem and what YCEDA is doing about it.
What’s going on at YCEDA? Paul Brierley goes over how the Center of Excellence has positively impacted the fight against Fusarium wilt of lettuce in the last 3 years. He also goes over future plans and research. Keep updated with our Impact Reports!
Another disease we’re tackling and researching is Downey Mildew in iceberg lettuce. Dr. Michael Matheron is a plant pathologist with the University of Arizona and has been studying diseases for over 30 years! We partnered with him to further our knowledge and research of Downey Mildew. This material is based on work supported by the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce Research Council.
