May 4, 2012 UC Cooperative Extension Rangeland Watershed Specialist Ken Tate with the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences has received the Eric Bradford and Charlie Rominger Agricultural Sustainability Leadership Award, created to honor exceptional leadership and integrity in the field of agricultural sustainability.
April 27, 2012 Livestock grazing is apparently not the culprit in the steep decline of Yosemite toads and their habitat, according to the results of an extensive, three-year study conducted by a group UC Davis researchers published this week in the journal PLoS ONE.
April 23, 2012 The UC ANR Rangeland Watershed Program has received the 2012 Western Extension Directors Association Award of Excellence for its outstanding work with water quality and grazing issues on California’s rangelands. Some 80 percent of the state’s water passes through or is stored on rangeland, and the program’s two decades of education and research has helped produce management practices that keep that water clean.
April 23, 2012 UC Davis’ global stewardship of agricultural biotechnology research and development gained even more stature recently when the USDA’s Biotechnology Quality Management System officially recognized the Public Intellectual Property Resource for Agriculture, or PIPRA, which works to make patented agricultural biotechnology discoveries more available to developing nations and specialty-crop farmers. |
April 23, 2012 Iago Lowe Hale, who received his Ph.D. in Plant Breeding and Genetics from UC Davis in 2011, has received the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environment Sciences Kinsella Memorial Prize for his exemplary teaching and important research in identifying and characterizing genetic sources of resistance to stripe rust, a fungal disease that has plagued wheat growers for centuries.
April 23, 2012 The California Energy Commission has awarded Biodiesel Industries of Ventura a $2 million grant for research and development of biodiesel fuel. The company has partnered with Stephen Kaffka, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences, who will develop viable biofuel feedstocks at test plots. Sunday, June 17, 2012 Join us for our Spring Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, June 17, 2012, at 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m. at The Pavilion at ARC
