The Governor of Puerto Rico, cooperating with the island’s communities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, selected the present site of the station at Mayaguez: the farm known as Hacienda Carmen, 235 acres donated by the City of Mayaguez. At its inception, this facility was known as the Federal Experiment Station. In 1975 it became the Mayaguez Institute of Tropical Agriculture (mita), and in 1982 was renamed the Tropical Ag- riculture Research Station (tars). Since 1961 it has been part of the Agricultural Research Service’s Tropical Crops and Germplasm Research Division. When established, the Federal Experiment Station was the island’s only institution for agricul- 2 tural research, and horticultural research has always been prominent in the station’s program.
