"We have been working closely with our partners to locate, secure and develop a site specific to research on ornamental crops without the potential for a pest to enter the nursery trade. Thanks to all the hard work of a large number of cooperators we have found that location at Dominican University of California. This initiative will contribute to Plant Protection and Quarantine's mission of safeguarding American agriculture and natural resources by identifying key elements that are important to the US nursery growers and will further reduce risk to the nation's forests.”
