Dr. Brar's teaching responsibilities include teaching core horticulture/pomology courses
and temperate and subtropical tree fruit and nut crop courses. His research primarily
focuses on whole tree physiology and orchard systems in pistachio and other tree fruit
and nut crops for Central Valley growers.
He has conducted specific research in chill accumulation and phenology in pistachios
and the growth and development responses of containerized citrus nursery trees to
modified light/photoperiod and plant growth regulators in controlled environment systems.
His expertise and extension experience has also led him to study other topics tied
to pollination, nut growth and development and studying plant responses to changing
environmental conditions.

Particularly interested in working on chill accumulation, pollination, nut growth
and development and studying plant responses to changing environmental conditions.
