The spotted wing drosophila can cause important damages to small fruit!
As an entomologist involved in the research activity Ecological pest management for Spotted Wing Drosophila, Dr. Chandra Moffat, from AAFC, speaks passionately about her role in the development of multiple strategies for the management of the spotted wing drosophila (‘fruit fly’), with a focus on organic methods of control. She was interviewed by Jordan Marr In November 2020.
Wireworms can cause serious damage to horticultural food crops. Todd Kabaluk evaluates practices that maintain wireworms at levels acceptable for production of smaller-scale food crops.
Dr. Mehdi Sharifi, in partnership with Dr. Liette Vasseur, tests the combinations of cover crops, rootstocks, and irrigation for enhancing vineyard soil health.
Sustainable vegetable production can shape the agricultural landscape: Sean Smukler is building an online tool to enhance nutrient management planning and enhance land stewardship.
Martine Dorais tells us about major advances in fertilization, growing media and substrates, lighting and effluent control in organic greenhouse production systems.
Dr. Jennifer Mitchell Fetch, from AAFC, describes how, over 17 years of work, she has created two new oat cultivars selected to thrive under organic management.
Dr. Peter Tyedmers leads a valuable research activity to estimate the level of greenhouse gas emissions caused by Canadian organic field crop production systems.
