The Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Growers’ Association has released a new study highlighting the sustainability of Ontario fruits and vegetables. Growers are using a wide range of environmentally sustainable practices on-farm.
- Wageningen University is challenging global teams to deliver sustainable vegetable production with artificial intelligence. This year’s focus is dwarf tomatoes.
- Matthew Rae, MPP Wellington-Perth, has introduced a Private Members Bill that would offer liability protections to agritourism operators offering farm visits.
- The biotech company is publishing strong spray trial results for its Clonostachys rosea CR-7 (CR-7) biofungicide when used on a blueberry crop. Michigan State University conducted the research.
- Inspectors of Ontario grape growers will be looking for adherence to label directions: crop, rate, number of applications, application method, application interval, PHI, REI, PPE, buffer zones, etc.
