Agricultural Experiment Station

Most Plant Sciences faculty also hold appointments in the Agricultural Experiment Station (AES). The Agricultural Experiment Station, in this sense, is not a place as much as a mission. Faculty members with AES appointments, in addition to their instructional and research assignments, are responsible for meeting their departments' research and teaching needs and conducting mission-oriented research. This carries with it an expectation of distributing research findings to appropriate audiences. Please visit the Agricultural Experiment Station in the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences page for more information.

Nearly a third of the Department of Plant Sciences faculty hold full or partial appointments as Specialists in Cooperative Extension. These CE specialists conduct applied research and statewide outreach programs and contribute to the research, education, and outreach mission of the University of California.
