Researchers: Surendra Dara, UCCE-SLO & Oleg Daugovish, UCCE-VC. Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Isaria fumosorosea, and Metarhizium brunneum are primarily used for managing arthropod pests.

Researchers: James Downer, UCCE-VC & Howard Ferris, UCDavis. Soil-borne root damaging diseases often result as a consequence of cropping the same kinds of plants on the same land over a number of years.

Project Leaders: Rose Hayden-Smith, UCCE-VC, Susana Bruzzone-Miller, UC HAREC.

UC Hansen Agricultural Research and Extension Center (HAREC) is located in Ventura County, a few miles east of the Pacific Ocean and enjoys a mild climate.. The history of the Center begins with the Thelma Hansen estate.

HAREC research focuses on methods for improving plant productivity, including leading-edge irrigation technologies and techniques, biocontrol of pathogens and pests, novel pruning techniques, and the introduction and evaluation of promising crop commodities.

HAREC is dedicated to Extension, Education and Outreach and serves as a venue for a wide variety of audiences. Field days and workshops provided by UC advisors extend research results to local growers.
