Home: Mission Statement

This site provides information on current projects involving fruit and ornamental research at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension off-campus research facility in Cream Ridge, New Jersey.

The Rutgers Fruit & Ornamental Research Extension center conducts and disperses research applicable to the production of high-quality tree and small fruits, including apples, peaches, apricots, nectarines, brambles, strawberries, and grapes. The center increases production efficiency and protects fruit crops against environmental and biological hazards, while decreasing production costs and pesticide use.
