[Plantsci] Invitation for UA Field Day October 31, 2025

[Schuch, Ursula K - (uschuch)]

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA LANDSCAPE PLANT VINE IRRIGATION TRIAL - PLANT RATING FIELD DAY
You are invited to participate in the Field Day on October 31, 2025 from 7:30 am - 10:30 am at the Campus Ag Center in Tucson to rate vines in the University of Arizona Landscape Plant Irrigation Trial. This trial evaluates plant material to identify low water-use plants for Arizona. Plants are evaluated over a three-year period, are irrigated regularly during the first summer after planting, and receive differing irrigation treatments during the second and third year. To ensure our evaluations are representative of industry opinions and preferences we invite you  to our ratings event in 2025 where you can evaluate vines that have been irrigated with different irrigation treatments for two growing seasons.

You can also visit the field where different shrubs have been growing under different irrigation treatments for three years. Plants in this field will not be rated, but you have an opportunity to observe their performance after three growing seasons.

Once you RSVP for October 31, 2025, we will provide detailed directions before the event. Participation entails recording your aesthetic preferences for one individual vine per treatment for each species/cultivar, providing the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the species across all treatments without rating the whole field. The ratings for the vines takes about 20-40 minutes to complete and participants may arrive any time between 7:30 am to 10:30 am. Participation is voluntary.

The ratings for the vines take about 20-40 minutes to complete and participants may arrive any time between 7:30 am to 10:30 am.

Please RSVP here<https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_doE5tYlFhcQdrBc>. A reminder along with a map to the site will be sent by email before the event.

Please pass this invitation to others who may be interested to participate.
