The Crops Pathology and Genetics Research Unit established in 1956 and located on the Campus of the University of California, Davis has scientists located in three academic departments across the campus. Currently we support 9 scientists and their associated technicians, graduate students and post doctoral associates in our research unit.
Research Programs: (CRIS Projects)
- Etiology & Biology of Tree Crop Diseases – Examine the etiology & biology of diseases affecting deciduous fruit/nut trees, grapevines, oak trees, and strawberry, while developing sustainable disease management practices that do not rely on methyl bromide.
- Rice Genetics – Improvement of rice germplasm for temperate environments.
- Sustainable Viticulture – The biology and sustainable management of grapevine diseases and vineyard weeds. Examination of the molecular microbial ecology of the rhizosphere.
- Alternatives to Methyl Bromide – In a 5 year area-wide project we are demonstrating the use of alternative technologies that provide pest and pathogen control equivalent to methyl bromide fumigation.
