项目摘要

The College of New Caledonia and Mackin Creek Farm are collaborating on an applied research project that will help expand their business to include commercial greenhouse tomato production. This project builds off a successful College-led applied research project in central BC that studies optimal tomato varieties and management practices for commercial production. Tomatoes are a high valued crop in northern BC, and represent a substantial economic opportunity for Mackin Creek Farm.One of the key supply-side challenges specific to northern regions of BC is around optimal tomato varieties and planting practices specific to regional climate and environmental conditions. Commercial production of tomatoes requires careful environmental and biological (pathogen) management, and management regimes must incorporate region-specific information. In the face of increased drought events and water restrictions, growers in the BC Interior urgently need scientific information on how to manage water resources while maintaining tomato quality and production. College faculty and students will work with Mackin Creek Farm on a series of experiments test the effect of soil moisture deficit on tomato yields and characteristics such as sugar content. Students involved in this project will learn important skills in environmental sensor operation and data collection, statistical analyses, and the importance developing new horticulture processes and practices.

新喀里多尼亚学院和Mackin Creek农场正在合作开展一个应用研究项目，该项目将有助于扩大其业务，包括商业温室番茄生产。该项目建立在BC省中部一个成功的大学主导的应用研究项目的基础上，该项目研究了商业生产的最佳番茄品种和管理实践。番茄是不列颠哥伦比亚省北方的一种高价值作物，为Mackin Creek农场带来了巨大的经济机会。不列颠哥伦比亚省北方地区特有的一个关键供应方挑战是围绕最佳番茄品种和针对区域气候和环境条件的种植实践。番茄的商业化生产需要仔细的环境和生物（病原体）管理，管理制度必须纳入区域具体信息。面对日益严重的干旱事件和水资源限制，不列颠哥伦比亚省内陆地区的种植者迫切需要有关如何在保持番茄质量和产量的同时管理水资源的科学信息。学院师生将与Mackin Creek农场合作进行一系列实验，测试土壤水分不足对番茄产量和糖含量等特性的影响。参与该项目的学生将学习环境传感器操作和数据收集，统计分析的重要技能，以及开发新的园艺工艺和实践的重要性。
