Narrative
The Firestone Natural Rubber and Latex Company (a division of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company) established 180 acres of guayule in 1978-1981 by transplants originating from several seed sources. Approximately 15 acres contained 23 USDA and Anderson lines, while 163 acres were devoted to stands derved from bulk seed collected in native populations of northcentral Mexico, and from bulk collections at the Los Angles State and County Arboretum, Arcadia, CA. About 2 acres were devoted to research plots. Firestone closed the site in 1981, and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station leased the area in 1983 and conducted research there until 1997. The research centered on direct seeding, irrigation methods, harvesting techniques, greenhouse studies, pest control, regional variety trials, and seed harvesting and cleaning.
