Scientists conduct research projects at Lindcove REC such as evaluating new varieties, finding better ways to grow trees, and new ways to manage pests of citrus, avocado, walnut, olive and pomegranate trees.

The Research and Extension Center System (RECS) supports field research, education and extension activities by providing suitable environments including land, labor, facilities and support staff.
