UC Davis researchers are evaluating new herbicides and no-till cultivation methods to address challenges in California rice production, including herbicide resistance, water scarcity, and production costs. Trials indicate potential benefits and trade-offs.
UC Davis is testing “climate-ready trees” to ensure future shade as weather extremes grow. Inspired by Alison Berry’s research, students and staff are planting drought-tolerant species across campus to create a resilient urban forest.
Lorence Oki's research on water-efficient roses reveals cultivars that stay aesthetically pleasing with minimal irrigation. His trials, part of the Climate-Ready Landscape Plants project, help develop low-water options for sustainable landscaping.
