Research Projects

The aim of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of different control strategies.

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

To manage clogging risks, the project automated pumping based on water turbidity and cover the filter to prevent light from entering the water and thus reduce algal bloom. 

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

The aim of the project was to measure the performance and water requirements of eight potato cultivars under commercial production conditions.

The project consisted of manufacturing and testing a portable rain simulator to estimate, under various conditions, what proportion of irrigation water a crop is able to use.

The aim of this project was to set up a support service to equip producers and others in the industry to improve their irrigation management.

This project involved an exhaustive survey of viruses, phytoplasma, fungi, and nematodes in nurseries and strawberry fields to determine the exact causes of strawberry decline disease in Québec. 

To increase the productivity of potato production systems and preserve soil quality, we need to enhance our knowledge of interactions among biological, physical, chemical, and agronomic characteristics of cultivated soils in various environments.
