Welcome!
The sunshine state has a very diverse climate and soils supporting the cultivation of a wide range of horticultural and agronomic crops. Fruit Physiology Lab at the North Florida Research and Education Center, Florida, strives to lead teaching, extension, and cutting-edge research programs to advance sustainable and profitable fruit and nut production, particularly for the state of Florida and, in general, for the nation. We focus on plant-genotype-environment interaction, scion-rootstock compatibility, nutrient and water best management practices (BMPs), soil fertility and health, and high-quality & nutrient-rich produce. We train and educate next-generation food producers, extension agents, crop advisors, and crop consultants to fulfill the demand for food and feed supplies that contribute so much to the prosperity of the Sunshine State and our nation.
