  • Look through a high powered microscope at New York crop diseases.
  • Check out some creepy crawly insects and learn about their biology.
  • Discover how various food and craft beverage companies produce some of your favorite products deliciously and safely through our expertise and innovation.
  • Find out how we develop new apple, grape and vegetable varieties and visit some of our world-renowned germplasm repositories.
  • Get insight on what it takes to implement lake friendly lawn care.
  • Peruse the many weeds growing in our area and get some tips and tricks on how to manage them.

  • Meet some "friendly insects".
