This project demonstrated and provided local experience with innovative corn production management strategies including intercropping annuals (relay cropping), variation to plant population and strip tillage. The trials…
Successfully rejuvenate a pasture or old hayfield has a lot of risk associated with a full rejuvenation like tillage or herbicide fallow. Risks such as loss of…
Climate change is shifting precipitation patterns and increasing temperatures on Vancouver Island. These changing conditions create variability in growing season length and may change seasonal crop and…
In British Columbia, shifting precipitation patterns are becoming increasingly unpredictable and volatile. Wetter spring and fall shoulder seasons are impeding farmers’ ability to prepare and harvest their…
This project is a collaborative effort to determine economic operationally feasible methods for producers and managers to reduce the negative impacts of woody plant encroachment. This environmental…
The potential of agro-thermal heat treatment to address challenges in wine grape production that are being magnified by increasing variability in temperature and precipitation was evaluated through…
These fact sheets provide information on the development stages for wine grapes (phenology). They identify historical trends as well as how the stages of maturity differ across…
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 were…
This fillable template introduces the value of testing new crops to adapt to climate change and walks through the steps to carry out a research trial. It…
