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.

This project evaluated the impact of various corn, soya, and wheat fertilization methods on marketable yields, harvest quality, nitrate losses, and movement of microorganisms potentially pathogenic for humans.

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

Using a split-split-plot design, this study tested three variables: soil tillage, crop rotation in organic production, and fertilization with manure or compost.

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

The purpose of this project was to study the vegetative propagation and regeneration capacity of Canada thistle and sow thistle with a view to developing effective weed control strategies.

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

In a high density strawberry crop grown in sod covered with plastic mulch, evaluate the toxicity of bioinsecticides for controlling tarnished plant bugs and strawberry blossom beetles and of bioherbicides for controlling weeds in and between crop rows.
