The Yuma Agricultural Center has two sites: a Valley farm four miles west of Yuma and a Mesa Farm four miles south of the city. Seven faculty members from five academic units (Plant Sciences, Entomology, Animal Sciences, Plant Pathology, and Soil, Water and Environmental Studies) conduct research and outreach programs. Research includes the biology and management of insects, the biology and management of crop diseases, weed ecology and control, seed and crop physiology, and soil, water and nutrient management. The 274-acre Valley Farm includes a diversified range of crops, including cotton, small grains, and such vegetables as lettuce and broccoli. The 240-acre Mesa Farm is focused on citrus production. |
