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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
