Plant Production

Growing crops in Georgia is a multi-faceted job. It entails fighting plant diseases, weeds and pests; soil quality and irrigation; genetics; post-harvest handling; conservation and cultural trends, as well as breeding programs introducing new cultivars. UGA Extension has a hand in every phase.

Sustainability, Conservation and the Environment

Agriculture thrives when the environment is healthy. UGA Extension works to support agriculture to keep it sustainable and profitable by managing natural resources, focusing on production practices, investigating niche markets and protecting the environment.
