Here at the center, grower input is vital to guiding our work. Recently, several Florida #caladium growers visited our breeder, Dr. Deng, to provide feedback on our caladium variety development and discuss how we can better support this industry moving forward.

This data will help her understand the long-term effects of fumigation on the survival and recovery of soil-borne pathogens in tomatoes and their associated microbiota. #tomato #research #UF

Our second crop of #hops this season is thriving, already reaching the 15-ft cable! By using LED lights to extend day length, we're successfully suppressing premature flowering until the plants hit 18 ft, ensuring a robust harvest ahead. 🍺

As hop cones mature, they produce acids and essential oils that contribute to the bitterness and aroma of beer🍻 We sample cones for preharvest chemical analysis multiple times to monitor the maturity level and determine the optimum time to harvest! 2 weeks to go 😍 #UFHops #FloridaHops
