Vegetable Breeder Warren Barham Endows Scholarship Fund

Dr. Warren Barham, left, with Horticulture Professor Teddy Morelock at the presentation of the Outstanding Alumni Award to Barham in October 2002.

Dr. Warren Barham, CEO and chairman of the board of Barham Seeds, Inc./Kyle College in Gilroy, Calif., has contributed $10,000 to establish the “Margaret and Warren Barham Endowed Award in Horticulture” for Horticulture students.

A native of Prescott, Ark., he received a B.S.A. degree in horticulture at the University of Arkansas in 1941 and a Ph.D. at Cornell University in 1950. He was a research associate and acting resident director in 1945-46 at the Fruit and Truck Branch Experiment Station, now the Southwest Research and Extension Center at Hope.

Barham was named an Outstanding Alumnus by the UA Department of Horticulture in 2002.

From 1950 to 1958, Barham was an associate professor at North Carolina State University where he established a breeding program on cucumbers and was the first watermelon breeder.

From 1958-1976, he was research and development director for Basic Vegetable Products, Inc., in Vacaville, Calif.

From 1976-1982,  Barham was professor and department head at Texas A&M University. He developed 34 varieties and hybrids of onions, 15 triploid and eight diploid hybrid watermelons, two cucumber varieties and one tomato variety.
