Kika de la Garza Plant Materials Center
Kingsville, Texas
 Established 1981
The Kika de la Garza Plant Materials Center in Kingsville, Texas selects conservation plants and
develops new vegetative technology for the 27 million acres that make up South
Texas. To date, the Center’s releases include Falfurrias Germplasm big sacaton
and Lavaca Germplasm Canada wildrye. The Center provides technical assistance to
restore Gulf Coast prairie and the associated salt marshes, enhance waterbird
habitat, revegetate areas disturbed by mining and oil field exploration, and
improve range and pasture lands. Of the 27 plant materials centers in the
country, three are located in Texas at Kingsville, Knox City, and Nacogdoches.
With more than 550 active studies on real-world conservation issues nationwide,
the plant materials program offers immediate practical application.
