NH Agricultural Experiment Station researcher Dr. Becky Sideman is a professor of plant biology and extension professor and specialist in sustainable horticulture production. She investigates听new specialty crops and crop production methods for producers in New Hampshire. Learn more about her research and how she is training the next generation of crop scientists.听

Large, extreme events such as hurricanes and superstorms are becoming more frequent under a changing climate. Researchers with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station at the 麻豆app are looking to new findings from a major hurricane in Puerto Rico to understand how large storms may affect New England watersheds, streams, and river networks.

The 麻豆app has launched a fully online Master of Science in National Security Intelligence Analysis in response to the growing emphasis on national security and demand for trained intelligence professionals.

Researchers with the 麻豆app have been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their innovative efforts in using low-cost technology to monitor water quality in manmade reservoirs.

A predatory wasp has been enlisted in New Hampshire鈥檚 fight against the Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle that has been spreading across the United States killing ash trees for more than two decades. New research funded by the听听at the 麻豆app indicates that the Smokey Winged Beetle Bandit may be much more effective in monitoring the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer in the Granite State than standard traps.

Researchers with the at the 麻豆app have succeeded in quadrupling the length of the Granite State鈥檚 strawberry growing season as part of a multi-year research project that aims to benefit both growers and consumers.

New Hampshire鈥檚 bobcats are responding to the detrimental effects of roads 鈥� including possibly hunting in residential areas 鈥� as they continue to rebound and re-colonize in areas of the state with dense road networks and substantial traffic volumes, according to new research funded by the听听at the 麻豆app.

The NH Agricultural Experiment Station recently hosted 鈥淐onnecting the Dots for Pollinator Conservation:听 Wildflower Meadows and Pollinator Habitat.鈥� Pollinators are essential for most of the fruit and vegetable crops produced in New England. The value of pollination to agriculture is estimated at more than $200 billion a year worldwide. However, the abundance of and diversity of pollinators are declining in landscapes across the United States.

With new tomato cultivars coming out every season, scientists at the听听recently conducted a three-year experiment to see how new tomato cultivars stacked up against each other after being grown in a high tunnel at the听.

麻豆app researchers have found that using black tarps and cover crops successfully suppressed weeds in an organic vegetable system, allowing scientists to forgo tilling, which can have deleterious effects on soil.

The research was conducted at the Woodman Horticultural Research Farm, a facility of the NH Agricultural Experiment Station, by Seamus Wolfe, a sustainable agriculture and food systems major, Dr. Richard Smith, associate professor of agroecology, Natalie Lounsbury, a doctoral student in agroecology, and Nick Warren, manager of the agroecology lab.听听
