$4.7M to Study Storing Greenhouse Gases in Soil

Katherine E Kerlin — January 16, 2019 - 3:23pm

California leads the nation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but reductions alone will not be enough to reach the targets set by the 2015 Paris climate agreement. To do that, greenhouses gases like carbon dioxide will need to be removed from the atmosphere on a monumental scale.

Using the Sun and Agricultural Waste to Control Pests

Amy M Quinton — January 03, 2019 - 1:56pm

Farmers spend a lot of time and money controlling weeds and other pests, and often have to turn to chemical fumigants to keep the most destructive pests at bay. Farmers also wrestle with what to do with low-value byproducts of crop production, such as skin, seeds and hulls from fruit, vegetable and nut processing.

What if those agricultural waste streams could generate alternatives to chemical fumigants and make farming more productive, profitable and environmentally friendly?

Seeds of Science

Susanne Rockwell — August 15, 2007 - 9:14am

As the campus nears its 2008–09 centennial celebration, we take a look back at what was happening 100 years ago.

Even before the first buildings were finished — and more than a year before the first students would arrive — the University Farm began laying the groundwork for its first research projects.

UC scientists dug experimental irrigation ditches and planted varieties of wheat, oats, barley and tomatoes. Soon to follow would be test crops of sugar beets, legumes and an array of fruit and almond trees.
