Welcome to the Department of Pomology, part of the School of Agriculture.

The goal of the Department of Pomology will be to coordinate, organize, and provide material for studies about production and marketing of fruits. It is expected that this Department might be included into Division of Horticulture, such as the Department of Floriculture, Department of Olericulture, Department of Viticulture and Enology and others.
