Research Projects

This project will help lead to the development of an organic farming system to grow baby greens.

Analyzing the factors influencing European corn borer abundance in Québec to improve monitoring methods and better manage future risks associated with this pest.

This project aims to assess the impact of cropping practices on baby lettuce yields and quality on muck soil.

Evaluation of the potential of drones to optimize trichogramma releases against the European corn borer on processing sweet corn in Québec.

This project will compare the ability of various pheromone mixes to prevent male swede midges from locating females.

This project proposes ways of using legume intercrops to control vegetable pests (insects, diseases, and weeds) while increasing soil productivity and quality and economic yields.

This project as aimed at comparing the efficacy of two parasites (T. brassicae and T. ostriniae) on leek moth.

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 three-year project looked at optimal ways to use a mix of flowering plants against caterpillar pests of crucifers.

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

The goal of this project is to boost the number of fresh and processing sweet corn producers in Québec using trichogramma to control European corn borer.

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

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

This project will provide a better understanding of interactions between a vegetable polyculture system and hedges composed of shrubs and perennials in order to enhance the impact of beneficial insects on vegetable crops.
