Plant Agriculture
Michigan State University has a rich history of plant agriculture research and outreach dating back to the origin of the institution. Through MSU AgBioResearch and MSU Extension, scientists are continuing to make discoveries in the areas of genomics, breeding, pest management and disease management, while reaching out to growers to convey the most recent findings.
MSU received more than $45 million from 2021-2023 for climate-related research, development and outreach activities, much of which has directly or indirectly impacted plant agriculture. Over 40% of this funding is linked to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, MSU AgBioResearch and MSU Extension.
