    CSUMB hosts Western agriculture leaders

    July 23, 20242 Mins Read


    Agriculture experts from across the western United States and local industry leaders gathered on Wednesday and Thursday, July 17-18, at Cal State Monterey Bay to discuss some of the latest research and newest practices in crop management. 

    This was the first time CSUMB has hosted the Western Society of Crop Science. Arun Jani, a CSUMB assistant professor of biology and chemistry, said the event was a chance for scientists to share their most recent data and for the university to showcase its own work. 

    “This meeting brought together researchers from universities, federal agencies, cooperative extensions and the private sector, working to advance crop improvement,” Jani said. “It was a great opportunity for students to network with potential employers, while also learning about graduate school opportunities. It also brought together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, fostering collaboration to tackle local agricultural challenges.” 

    CSUMB students, along with student researchers from Utah State and Montana State universities, competed in two different presentation events. Three CSUMB students placed. Curtis Bireley won $150 for placing second in the poster presentation, while Alex Rodriguez was third and received $125. In the oral presentation, recent graduate Brielle Liske won $200 for finishing third. 

    Liske said she appreciated the opportunity to present her work, adding that it has given her confidence as a young worker in the agriculture industry.  

    “It’s extremely important,” Liske said. “I’ve attended many conferences, which has led to the job I have.”

    She said she is doing research for Vilmorin-Mikado in Salinas. That company, along with Driscoll’s, helped sponsor the meeting. 

    On the second day of the meeting, participants went on a field tour of local agricultural operations. Attendees learned about agricultural innovations and sustainable practices in the region.

    “We went to farms in Chualar to learn about and observe automated weeding with Stout Industrial Technology,” Jani said. 

    They also visited a farm operated by Larry Santos, the 2024 Organic Grower of the Year with Taylor Farms. 

    “Larry and Taylor Farms staff took time to discuss their operation and some of the challenges they face in growing high-quality organic vegetables,” Jani said. 

    He said he hopes to host the event again in the future. 

    “I received very positive feedback personally from several participants before they left,” Jani said. “And our location, with its close proximity to the Salinas Valley, is ideal for such conferences.”
