Research Projects

This project aims to reduce Japanese beetle populations using localized applications that minimize environmental and health risks

This project will evaluate the efficiency of the initial releases of sterile spotted wing drosophilas on fall raspberry plots.

This project’s goal is to develop a large-scale inundative release method using the same trichogramma species employed in a previous project.

Project to increase the use of mating disruption to control codling moths.

Validation and adaptation of pest and disease monitoring and decision support tools.

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

Updating the apple pest monitoring guide and the IFP reference guide for the benefit of apple growers.

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

The aim of this project is to measure the potential of automated traps and extrapolate it to an apple-monitoring network.

Testing the efficacy of four biofungicides against Sclerotinia in soybeans.

Research projects on controlling fire blight.

Economic analysis of using flower strips around soybean fields to serve as a reservoir for aphid species attacked by Pandora neoaphidis.

The aim of this project is to determine the combined impact on fungicide efficacy of rain and the appearance of new leaves to more accurately identify how long treatments remain effective.

The main aim of this project is to test a bacterial detection technique developed in Austria that consists of quantifying inoculum carried by bees.

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.
