Research Projects

This project evaluated effective and economically viable control strategies for swede midge that are healthy for both humans and the ecosystem.

This project determined the efficacy of various pest control products on the striped cucumber beetle on organic cucurbit crops.

This project evaluated the impact of various corn, soya, and wheat fertilization methods on marketable yields, harvest quality, nitrate losses, and movement of microorganisms potentially pathogenic for humans.

Biofumigation could be an attractive option for increasing the mortality of dormant seeds.

Managing potato residues is therefore a big challenge, which will only increase with the enforcement of the Québec Residual Materials Waste Management Policy.

Using a split-split-plot design, this study tested three variables: soil tillage, crop rotation in organic production, and fertilization with manure or compost.

The data generated by this project was used to develop a new NPK fertilization chart that reflects technical, agronomic, and environmental issues.

This project was aimed at determining the nutrient needs of beets based on soil texture and phosphorus and potassium levels under Québec growing conditions.

The aim of this project was to gather data on the nutritional requirements of barley to better equip producers, extension agents, and other industry stakeholders.

The aim of this project was to gather data on the nutritional requirements of oats to better equip producers, extension agents, and other industry stakeholders.

To provide information on the fertilizing value and environmental impact of spreading pig manure at different times, the project compared the effect of mineral fertilizer in early fall, late fall, and in the spring.

The aim of this project was to test the general hypothesis that exclusion nets, when properly used, can prevent attacks by most apple pests and reduce disease incidence with no major adverse effects on fruit quality.

Plots were set up at the Organic Agriculture Innovation Platform in St-Bruno-de-Montarville, Québec.

The purpose of this project was to study the vegetative propagation and regeneration capacity of Canada thistle and sow thistle with a view to developing effective weed control strategies.

This project aims to evaluate effective and economically viable control strategies for leek moth that are healthy for both humans and ecosystems.
