UCANR/UC Davis is looking for collaborators in the Salinas and north central coast area to conduct product and technology trials on Cole crops (DBM) or lettuce (thrips/aphids). Trials will be conducted between 2027 and 2030, requiring ¼ to 1/2 ac total trial area evaluating various registered treatments. The sites will be ideally conventional, but some organic may be ok as well. These trials may include, but are not limited to, advanced sprayers, novel chemistries or pesticide products, novel lures/attractants/biocontrol tools, biologicals, etc.

Please contact Ian Grettenberger at [email protected] or Dylan Beal at [email protected] if:

• You or your organization are interested to participate in field trials and would be willing to sign on or provide collaborator letter providing trial support in terms of providing a farm location for this research. We can provide a template letter if that is helpful.
• You are interested in farm trials generally (any location) and would like to stay updated on opportunities to evaluate new tools (please include your location and organic/non-organic production status and any specific tools you are particularly interested in).

If you have any questions, contact Jeana Cadby at [email protected].
