Guayule (why-YOU-lee) is a woody plant that thrives in the deserts of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico. New clean technologies make it pos-sible to extract natural rubber, latex, ethanol, non-toxic adhesives and other specialty chemicals from guayule. Guayule acreage in Yuma is small, and ranges from 50 to about 100 acres.

Guayule is a long lived, desert adapted shrub but requires more water than associated desert vegetation for active growth (Muller, 1946). During temperature or drought stress, it enters a semi-dormant state characterized by darker, grayer leaves
