Cornell AES is an indispensable part of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, and also serves the Colleges of Human Ecology & Veterinary Medicine.
Plant Growth Facility Resources for Cornell Researchers
Important Information
Cornell’s greenhouses and plant growth chambers are the proving grounds for groundbreaking research. They provide carefully controlled environments where Cornell scientists test and fine-tune new ideas and methods. Cornell AES’ dedicated staff provides unparalleled services and support, to maintain conditions critical to success.

Control of Plant Virus
Tobacco Mosaic Virus Control
Tobacco Mosaic Virus – TMV – is a plant disease that negatively impacts solanaceous crops, which include tobacco, tomato, pepper and potato. Managing TMV is essential to ensure ongoing productive and reliable research on solanaceous crops. TMV will always be an issue unless the CALS research community takes appropriate steps to control the virus.
Please reference the following materials as we work together to minimize the incidence and spread of TMV:
