New Mexico State University received a $759,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. In collaboration with Cornell University, NMSU will develop mechanical harvest-efficient, Phytophthora capsici-resistant New Mexico-type green chile cultivars by combining Cornell's disease resistance breeding expertise with NMSU's mechanically harvestable chile varieties. The project will deliver improved chile germplasm, advanced genomic tools, and a cross-institutional graduate student exchange program to enhance workforce capabilities in chile breeding and production. The primary outcomes of this research initiative are intended to strengthen domestic chile production and address critical industry challenges, including farm labor shortages and disease pressure. Deliverables will include new cultivars resistant to root rot that are compatible with mechanical harvesting systems, thereby reducing production costs and improving the resilience of the U.S. chile industry. Additionally, the project will contribute to workforce development by training multiskilled graduate students through collaborative academic programming between the two institutions, supporting the AFRI program's mission to train the next generation of agricultural professionals.Federal Grant Award Summary
