Colorado Research Locations

• Fort Collins, CO

• Center for Agricultural Resources Research:
• Soil Management and Sugarbeet Research: The mission of the Soils research of the Soil Management and Sugarbeet Research Unit (SMSRU) is to develop and evaluate new knowledge required to efficiently manage soil, fertilizer, and plant nutrients (emphasis on nitrogen) to achieve optimum crop yields, maximize farm profitability, maintain (More)
• Water Management and Systems Research: Water is precious. Our mission is to develop systems and tools to help resource managers and farmers better manage and use water. We work in areas where rainfall is scarce, from snow-fed mountain source waters to irrigated and dryland cropping systems. We develop strategies to deal with changing (More)
• Agricultural Genetic Resources Preservation Research: To support U.S. agriculture in producing high-quality food, feed, and fiber, the Agricultural Genetic Resources Preservation Research Unit provides genetic security by focusing on: Acquiring, evaluating, preserving, and distributing critical genetic resources including plant, animal, insect, and (More)
