At the Nackley Lab, we foster inclusivity while investigating challenges for young plants, drawing on diverse expertise in ecology, engineering, horticulture, and plant pathology.

The Nackley Lab: A team of grad students, undergrads, community college researchers, professors, and professional scientists. Stationed at NWREC, in Aurora, OR. Gettin our hands dirty mostly with shade trees, hardy perennials, and Ag. Tech.

Our mission is to sustain horticultural productions systems by partnering with growers and academics to provide research-based solutions. Our programs take four main themes that address major challenges to nursery and greenhouse production in Oregon: 1. Irrigation application; 2. Pest management; 3. Plant nutrition; and 4. climate adaptation. Our projects are designed to provide information that will support vibrant, verdant, urban and rural communities. We seek the balance between the low resource-use while maximizing plant health/quality. We kill plants so you don’t have to.
