Diversifying opportunity
Partnerships through centers and various collaborative programs allow our department to grow and enhance research. Laboratories provide additional opportunity to expand and diversify research mechanisms while also allowing the integration for both undergraduate and graduate students to get involved.
The goal of the FRAME is to provide useful recommendations for improving ecosystem function, with an emphasis on ecosystem services.
The focus of MAAREC research has been on the identification of alternatives to chemical controls and promotion of less reliance on chemical pesticides for mite control.
