The Agricultural Science Center at Los Lunas was established in the 1950s. Since then, research has focused on agronomic and horticultural crops native to the area. The center primarily serves the Middle Rio Grande area and portions of central New Mexico.

Mike English, entomologist and superintendent at NMSU's Agricultural Science Center at Los Lunas, scouts for cowpea aphid in an alfalfa field at the center, where researchers found thousands of aphids in early March. A wet, warm winter has allowed alfalfa fields to green up early this year, giving cowpea aphids ample feeding grounds.
