Hey I’m doing some last minute promotion for field day! Is this okay to share? I took from you UFSS abstract a little bit, and I know it is only one of your studies!!

It’s not too late to register for FIELD DAY! Join us here at OHREC from 4-7 this Monday to learn about current projects such as Shubham’s MS research! One of his projects is shedding light on which June-bearing strawberry cultivars preform best in our region. He is evaluating “the performance of four June-bearing strawberry cultivars—‘Ruby June’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Camarosa’, and ‘X08’—for plant growth, yield, physicochemical characteristics, and nutritional quality.” Come out on Monday to hear more about his projects and findings!
