These are complemented by greenhouses, growth chambers, controlled temperature and atmosphere facilities, enzyme preparation rooms and tissue culture facilities. World-class storage facilities at the Pullman campus aid in post harvest research of various commodities such as apples, pears, cherries, potatoes and red raspberries. The extensive land resources across the state provide varied climates and soil types for horticultural research. Orchards and land are available for field research at the Tukey Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Farm in Pullman. Additional research sites are available at the Central Ferry Station, the Othello Research Unit, and the Royal Slope Research Unit.
Many commercial growers cooperate by accommodating on-site projects.
Research may also be conducted at the facilities listed below. All requests for research locations will be coordinated through the student's graduate advisor and the appropriate administrative unit at the proposed location. The remainder of a student's degree time may be spent at other locations. As part of their program of study, some graduate students conduct research at locations other than the main campus. By taking advantage of resources throughout the state, we are able to provide a wide variety of opportunities for students.
