Season extension research in the Department of Horticulture focuses on cultural practices to help growers in New York and the Northeast harvest high-value crops earlier and a later in the season using high tunnels, greenhouses and other techniques.

Projects include:

• High-tunnel production of warm-season vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.
• Greenhouse and high-tunnel bramble production.
• High-tunnel cutflower production.
