As a UC Cooperative Extension Weed Specialist, Dr. Hanson is spearheading a multi-disciplinary research effort to manage branched broomrape in California-grown processing tomatoes. Our program is dedicated to developing integrated, science-based solutions to manage branched broomrape in California-grown processing tomatoes. By combining field innovation, controlled experimentation, and long-term seedbank management strategies, we aim to deliver practical tools for growers while supporting sustainable production under quarantine constraints.
