The Horticulture Science Research Center was established by integrating several key laboratories in June 2016, according to the suggestion of "DOCUMENT 70,""Opening of Major National Scientific Research Equipment from the State Council of China" by the National Development and Reform Commission(2014), and "Notice of Accelerating Reformation of the Organization Model in Scientific Research Base" by Northwest A&F University.

Managed by professionals, all advanced types of equipment in this center are available to all faculty members and students of the university on payment. This center is responsible for providing an effective platform for interactions among the public, research groups, teaching faculties, and experimental stations, as well as serving all faculties and students for their fundamental research.
