This summary is a project of the Institute for Community Engaged Scholarship (ICES) at the University of Guelph, with project partners: the Business Development Office (BDO), SPARK Program at the University of Guelph, and Knowledge Mobilization Unit at York University. This project is part of the Pan-Canadian Research Impact Network. http://csahs.uoguelph.ca/pps/Clear_Research Helpful predatory insects are natural enemies of insect pests, and are widely used in greenhouses. However, chemicals are still necessary to control certain pests and diseases. These chemicals can have a negative impact on helpful insects. The predatory mite, A. swirskii, is more resistant to many pesticides including the insecticide -chlorantraniliprole and fungicides - myclobutanil, potassium bicarbonate, and cyprodinil + fludioxonil. Therefore, these pesticides can be used with care before and/or after establishment of the helpful insects. Project support by Agri-Food and Rural Link, Mobilizing Agri-food and Rural Research Knowledge. A program of the OMAFRA-U of G Partnership. http://www.uoguelph.ca/research/omafra/partnership/KTT_and_IP.shtml |
