Enabling Climate Change Adaptation Through On-Farm Research Templates
This two-year project developed three research templates for getting started with on-farm research to test new practices. Each template also includes a case study. Learn
Extending the Greenhouse Growing Season in the Cariboo
These resources summarize the results of a 10-month applied research project that demonstrated and evaluated the use of minidomes and supplemental LED lighting in greenhouses. Trials
IPM Guides for Small-Scale Farmers
Through this project a series of 12 IPM guides were developed for small-scale vegetable and berry farmers in the Fraser Valley and Lillooet-Pemberton areas. These
IPM Guides: Tuber Flea Beetle
Tuber flea beetles (TFBs) are small black beetles that feed on Solanaceous plants, including potatoes. The most significant damage is done by the larvae, which
IPM Guides: Two-Spotted Spider Mites in Greenhouse Cucumbers
Two-spotted spider mites (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) feed directly on plants and can cause damage on a range of crops, including tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers.
IPM Guides: Powdery Mildew in Cucurbits
Powdery mildew is a widespread fungal disease in cucurbits. Infections can cause early defoliation and premature fruit ripening, affecting fruit set, size, quality and storability.
IPM Guides: Downy Mildew in Onions
Downy mildew is a widespread fungus-like disease in onions and other Alliums. Infections rarely kill onion plants but will cause early leaf dieback and infect
