Guayule cultivation is a research area focused on the sustainable cultivation and harvesting of guayule, a desert shrub native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Guayule is known for its natural rubber content and has been studied as a potential alternative source of rubber to address the environmental and economic issues associated with traditional rubber production. Research in guayule cultivation involves optimizing growing conditions, developing efficient harvesting methods, and improving rubber extraction processes to make guayule a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional rubber sources.
