Current Research at NORS-DUC

The mission of  the National Ornamentals Research Site at Dominican University of California is to identify, prioritize, facilitate and conduct research related to pests and diseases of nursery stock while safeguarding plant health and the environment.

NORS-DUC is the first research site in the United States dedicated to the study of pests and diseases affecting the health of ornamental plants.  The facility is funded by a grant from the 2008 Farm Bill, administered through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST).
