Research Projects

Development of a growing out-of-soil organic raspberries in high tunnels protocol in a profitable and competitive manner with a view to selling products locally or to large retail chains.

This project will modify current protocols with the addition of labile carbon to preserve or rapidly restore the activity of beneficial microorganisms.

Project initiated to review the knowledge on the fungicide resistance of various pathogens to provide a preliminary assessment of the economic impacts of fungicide resistance.

The project measures the nitrogen contribution of sawdust mulch.

This project assesse the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the efficacy of spring flooding to developp a strategy of control for the blackheaded fireworm

Developing a fast and sensitive molecular detection methodology able to accurately identify raspberry and strawberry viruses.

Biological control of the obliquebanded leafroller in orchards where mating disruption is being used against the codling moth.

Acquiring the knowledge needed to develop an attract-and-kill treatment to control current and future stinkbug populations in Québec apple orchards.

Developing a Codling moth control management tool based on an improved formulation of Virosoft CP4.

This pan-Canadian project conducted in Ontario, Québec, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick focuses on strategies for controlling three key pests in apple production.

This project will formulate multiple independent, but potentially synergistic, strategies to control Spotted Wing Drosophila.

The overall objective of the project is to inform apple growers via regional demonstration plots of the latest apple IPM techniques.
