Imagine a weed that can produce 600,000 seeds per plant and grow as much as 2.5 inches per day. Such a weed exists, and it’s not being grown somewhere in a secure lab — it’s widespread in the fields of Alabama farmers and throughout the United States. This “super”...
Is growing a cover crop on Alabama farms a solution or a problem for growers in the state who are trying to prevent soil and water erosion losses? A grant funded through the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station research program for the current fiscal year will...

Each year, the Alabama poultry industry produces two fully loaded Nimitz-class aircraft carriers’ worth of poultry litter, or about 3.6 billion pounds. Poultry litter...
Left to right, Denis Nadolnyak, Ruiqing Miao and Michele Worosz, all of the College of Agriculture’s Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, are members of research teams that received grants from the National Science Foundation.
A recent doctoral graduate in the College of Agriculture’s entomology program has completed the first scientific classification and identification study of a group of insects, phylloxerans – an insect similar to an aphid – that has been undertaken in more than a century.
Marel Poultry donates a processing system to Auburn University’s Miller Center in Alabama, USA. Essential to poultry processing research.
AAES researcher Manuel F. Chamorro, assistant professor of food animal medicine and surgery in the College of Veterinary Medicine, is working on a PAR initiative to help fight the leading cause of death in nursing beef calves older than three weeks of age.
USDA under secretary cites Auburn research in Senate testimony
Auburn University researchers are examining the use of beneficial bacteria as an alternative to nitrogen on bermuda grass hay.
Fernando Biase, assistant professor in the College of Agriculture’s Department of Animal Sciences, is leading a project that will create a basis of knowledge allowing for the development of strategies to improve fertility in beef cattle.
Pilgrim’s makes $500,000 gift to Auburn’s Miller Poultry Research and Education Center
Auburn researchers are working to expand irrigation on farms throughout Alabama in a way that benefits agriculture and conserves natural resources.
Federal funding legislation recently approved by Congress includes more than $43 million for a new agricultural science facility at Auburn University that will improve food production in the state of Alabama and beyond.
One of the nation’s largest food industries will soon find its innovation hub in Alabama, thanks to Auburn University’s new Charles C. Miller Poultry Research and Education Center.
A novel approach to improving food safety during the storage and transportation of raw poultry and seafood has earned Auburn poultry science assistant professor Amit Morey one of only nine New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Awards presented nationally in 2018.
A team of university scientists from across the U.S. is waging a nationwide offensive against a dastardly weed that the turfgrass industry in Alabama and beyond deems Enemy No. 1.
The College of Agriculture held its inaugural “ThanksforGiving to AU research” breakfast on Nov. 20 to recognize visiting scholars and postdoctoral researchers and their contributions to the college.
Auburn University aquatic ecologist Alan Wilson and a team of biological, molecular and environmental scientists from three other U.S. institutions are taking on toxic cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae or pond scum, in a five-year, $2 million National Science Foundation project.
Auburn University’s Board of Trustees has cleared the way for completion of the multi-unit Charles C. Miller Jr. Poultry Research and Education Center on the north Auburn campus, beginning with construction of an 18,800-square-foot poultry processing plant on the 30-acre site.
The project will create a bio-based fuel additive that can be blended with diesel fuel to reduce soot and greenhouse gas emissions and yield cleaner engine operation in cold-weather conditions.
Auburn University’s Aquaponics Working Group has a new vision for U.S. aquaculture, one that includes far more predictability and efficiency than today’s timeworn models of commercial fish production.
A 32-foot raw bar boasting 5,000 premium farm-raised oysters drew hundreds of oyster lovers to Ag Heritage Park earlier this year for the 2018 Alabama Oyster Social. In addition to emptying all 5,000 half shells, attendees also raised $45,000 to support Auburn University’s Shellfish Lab at Dauphin Island and, in turn, Alabama oyster farmers.
Auburn University marine scientist Bill Walton, one of the driving forces behind the Gulf Coast’s up-and-coming off-bottom oyster-farming industry, has landed a $456,646 federal grant to help ensure that farmed oysters bound for the premium half-shell market are as safe as possible for human consumption.
The local foods movement continues to grow in the U.S., with an increasing number of consumers wanting to know where their food comes from, connecting with the families producing it, and buying products at farmers markets and through community-supported agriculture programs.
