SWFREC Research Programs
Agricultural Economics
Strives to improve the quality of cost, price, and market information available to farm owners and managers. Extension work includes Florida Farm Labor Supervisor Training Program.
Citrus Pathology
Developing effective, long lasting, and integrated control strategies for pathogens causing economic harm to citrus.
Precision Agriculture Engineering
Mechanization and automation within specialty crop production to optimize management of inputs, resources, and products.
Vegetable Horticulture
Focuses on the development of vegetable production practices to improve productivity, and product quality. Emphasize soil fertility, cover crops, water management, crop variety testing, & technology.
Weed Science
Integrated strategies to control weeds in citrus and vegetables focusing on herbicide fate, efficacy, and crop safety.
Agricultural Natural Resources Economics
Measuring the efficiency of agricultural production systems and valuing the impact of alternative production methods on ecological systems to help farmers reach their economic and conservation goals.
Entomology
Management of insect and mite pests integrating cultural, biological, and chemical methods of pest control for developing environmentally sound and sustainable crop production systems.
Soil Science Artificial Intelligence
Integrate AI techniques into agriculture to support informed decision-making. Develop programs for efficient use of soil resources while improving capacities for soil health monitoring.
Vegetable Plant Pathology
Integrated management of plant diseases with emphasis on tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, squash, and cucumbers. Directs the Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic.
Citrus Horticulture
Research and adoption of new production practices to combat greening and improve citrus production in southwest Florida.
Plant Physiology
Physiology of citrus, especially as it relates to rootstock traits and rootstock interaction with the scion and finding solutions to reduce the negative impacts of citrus greening (HLB).
Soil Microbiology
Examining the interactions between soil microorganisms and crops to improve production.
Water Resources Engineering
Assist growers in precise irrigation management, benefits of “water farming,” and alternative vegetable bed geometries to conserve fertilizer, water, and fumigation materials.
Food Science
Support entrepreneurs, processors, and other food businesses of all sizes by providing technical assistance and food science and safety trainings.
