Dr. Matthew Whiting leads an applied, whole-tree physiology research, extension, and teaching program at Washington State University that addresses key issues limiting sweet cherry growers’ ability to efficiently, consistently, and sustainably produce superlative fruit. His team takes a pragmatic and collaborative approach to solve industry challenges central to orchard production efficiency (e.g., development of planar architectures, mechanization of operations), yield security (e.g., pollination biology, precision pollination systems), and fruit quality. Dr. Whiting’s program goal is to improve orchard production efficiency while growing the highest quality fruit. Over his 20 years at Washington State University, Dr. Whiting’s program has secured more than $8M in research funding and published 100+ research/extension publications. His extension program has been leading the transition to high efficiency orchard systems using a model of grower collaboration throughout Washington state, and around the world.
