Fundamentally, the organic research work will demonstrate best horticultural practices within the framework of organic standards, and a systems approach. A systems approach will be established so that each research project addresses a part of the whole. For example, the evaluation of different ground cover species in the orchard or vineyard will engage weed science, soil microbiology, soil fertility, entomology, irrigation efficiency, carbon sequestration, and multi trophic predator prey relationships that all play a part in the performance of the crop. All of these represent potential areas of applied research that play vital roles in the system\u2019s performance. Research will focus on solving immediate needs while maintaining a keen eye on long term issues facing regional growers.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/aes.colostate.edu\/wcrc\/stations\/rogers-mesa\/\"><strong>Organic Research Station at Rogers Mesa<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aes.colostate.edu\/wcrc\/stations\/rogers-mesa\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3082 size-thumbnail lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aes.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/04\/home-gardening-young-rucola-top-view-6427-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"seedlings\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The research foci at RMRS addresses organic agriculture with an emphasis on tree fruits, table grapes, wine grapes, organic seed production and greenhouse studies.
