Horticulture
Welcome
to the Utah State University Horticulture Homepage. The horticulture section
of the department of Plants, Soils, and Biometeorology encompasses research,
teaching, and extension activities in three horticultural areas: fruit,
vegetables, and landscape horticulture (ornamentals and turf).
We serve a large number of undergraduate students, and a growing number of graduate students, with educational opportunities in traditional horticulture as well the evolving area of landscape water conservation.
The
horticultural research projects are just as diverse, covering
the range from carbohydrate allocation in asparagus to
gene flow in bluegrass, to quantifying over irrigation
at the urban:rural fringe. Our extension programs serve
a wide range of clientele, from fruit and vegetable growers
to water districts to golf course managers. Take a look
and see what we have to offer.
