Vegetable Production

Associate Professor Jeff Mullen and Mary Kate Rubin (MAB '18) and their recent publication, “A Rapid Assessment Technique for Identifying Future Water Use and Pesticide Risks Due to Changing Cropping Patterns,” published in Sustainability MDPI was recently highlighted by the college. Their research provides valuable insights into how shifts in U.S. weather patterns could impact cropping systems, water usage, water quality, and agricultural inputs.  "The Southeastern U.S. is a prime candidate for expanding vegetable production in response to reduced yields in the West,” said Mullen.
