Northern BC (Bulkley-Nechako and Fraser-Fort George): Finding our farm pollinators

Insects pollinate many crops. In some cases, this process is essential for food production (and hence, food security); however, in other cases, insect pollination may not be essential but can greatly increase yields. Understanding the pollination services being provided in an area requires…

Don’t forget sunscreen: Protecting tree fruits during extreme heat events

As part of developing a “climate resilience toolbox” for Canadian tree fruit, this study evaluated the effect of a locally produced, calcium carbonate-based foliar protectant on apple sunburn and water stress.Canadian tree fruit producers need tools to help improve the resiliency of their crops to…

Preventing and detecting sunburn on ‘Ambrosia’ apples

To help producers adapt to the changing climate, this study examined the impact of rootstock size on sunburn browning and assessed the differences in fruit quality between healthy (marketable) 'Ambrosia' apples and those affected by sunburn browning. The results of this study will help with…

Large-dwarfing rootstocks can protect apples from sunburn

This study investigated if rootstock size selection can contribute to extreme heat resilience in ‘Buckeye Gala’ apple trees, measured through fruit sunburn damage.This research is a step towards developing a comprehensive apple rootstock evaluation that will help tree fruit growers adapt to climate…
