Research Projects

This project will help to identify and evaluate practices, techniques, and technologies that can be used to improve overall environmental performance, animal welfare, and the quality of the animals’ living environment.

The purpose of this project is to test the general hypothesis that biobased polymers can be used to replace fossil-fuel-based products and reduce the use of pesticides without increasing GHG emissions.

IRDA—in its capacity as the authorized representative tasked with revising the MAPAQ fertilization reference charts—will plan, coordinate, and monitor all activities involved in updating these charts.

One of the project objectives is to calculate GHG emissions in various beef production systems based on the results of a literature, methodology, and database review.

The project consists of evaluating soil degradation based on representative samples taken in Québec’s main soil regions and parent materials.

Using sound irrigation management to control frost and water stress in lowbush blueberry helps stabilize yield while minimizing environmental impacts.

The goal of the project is to select a strain of the mullein bug to control two spotted and red spider mites when populations tend to explode.
