Named a finalist in the Arizona Tech Council’s prestigious Governor’s Celebration of Innovation, Yulex Corporation is inviting farmers and agriculture leaders to learn about cultivating guayule and partnering with Yulex as the company expands in Arizona.

Meetings are scheduled for September 12, 15, and 23 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the University of Arizona’s Maricopa Agricultural Center located at 37860 W. Smith Enke Rd., Maricopa, Ariz. Yulex harvesting mature guayule crop for latex and rubber production.

Guayule is grown across Arizona and used to produce Yulex® rubber and latex emulsions.

Growers can expect to learn about the agricultural best practices and crop science that Yulex has developed to cultivate high latex yields from this new industrial crop.

Yulex supplies its material to manufacturers of medical, consumer and industrial products eager to replace petroleum-based synthetic rubber and latex materials as well as imported natural materials from Southeast Asia.

The meetings are free and open to the public with lunch provided. Seating is limited. To reserve a space, growers are encouraged to contact Jan Davis at jdavis@yulex.com or 520.381.2112.
