NC State researchers are conducting their greenhouse and lab research for the 2017 growing season. Look for more information soon as the Watermelon breeding and Pathology teams update us with videos of their work. Two members of the NC State research group that you are hearing more about are Allie Druffel and Luis Rivera-Burgos pictured below.
