Agricultural Experiment Station [AES]
Located on the St. Croix Campus of the University of the Virgin Islands, the Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) is part of the Research and Public Service Component. The U.S. Virgin Islands are semiarid, subtropical islands in the Lesser Antilles. The islands are marked by easterly trade winds which provide a nearly constant breeze and alternating periods of drought and heavy rain. A long tradition of agriculture in St. Croix provides an ideal location for our research mission.
