Desert-grown Strawberry

Dr. Chieri Kubota is working on ways to grow hydroponic strawberry in the Desert Southwest. Strawberry can be a winter crop in Arizona greenhouses but more research is needed. Her research group is one of the 18 awardees of the National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative Grant Program, funded by the Walmart Foundation. More information can be found on UA News and KOLD Channel 13, or Dr. Kubota’s project website.
