In the context of plant growth in green houses in Canada, the issue of pest management has proven to be animportant one to avoid crop lost. This fact together with consumers' demand for chemical-free ornamentalplants needs to be taken into account when doing research on pesticides' effects on plants. Shelmerdine Nurseryin Winnipeg, the largest garden center and retail nursery of Manitoba wants to reduce or eliminate the use ofpesticides to produce a premium and safe product to meet the market demand. Assiniboine Community College(ACC) will partner with Shemerdine Garden Center to develop applied research on a new biological pestmanagement program for the company's retail nursery site that will target a number of key pests. In 2015-16,various research trials using biocontrol agents were conducted in ACC's greenhouse located in Brandon,Manitoba. These trials have resulted to be very successful in eliminating pesticide use on ornamental and foodcrops (CBC News Report, 2016; Hinrichs et al, 2016.). Based on this experience, ACC will now develop asimilar program to use at Shelmerdine Nursery. Shelmerdine Nursery has identified the presence of a varietyof pests that cause damage directly by feeding on the plants, and indirectly by spreading disease pathogens andviruses. The research, will build strategies by using biologicals singularly and/or in combination with otherphysical, cultural, mechanical and chemical controls. The principal investigator for the research anticipates thedevelopment of a customized integrated pest management system for Shelmerdine Nursery, and providetraining to their staff to use it.

在加拿大的绿色温室中，害虫管理是避免作物损失的重要问题。在研究农药对植物的影响时，需要考虑到这一事实以及消费者对不含化学物质的植物的需求。温尼伯的Shelmerdine Nurserin是马尼托巴最大的园艺中心和零售苗圃，希望减少或消除农药的使用，以生产优质安全的产品来满足市场需求。阿西尼博因社区学院（ACC）将与谢默丁花园中心合作，为该公司的零售苗圃开发一项新的生物害虫管理计划的应用研究，该计划将针对许多关键害虫。2015-16年，在位于马尼托巴布兰登的ACC温室中进行了使用生物防治剂的各种研究试验。这些试验在消除观赏作物和粮食作物上的农药使用方面非常成功（CBC新闻报道，2016; Hinrichs等人，2016）。基于这一经验，ACC现在将开发一个类似的程序在谢尔默丁苗圃使用。Shelmerdine Nursery已经确定了一系列害虫的存在，这些害虫直接通过取食植物造成损害，间接通过传播疾病病原体和病毒造成损害。该研究将通过单独使用生物制剂和/或与其他物理，文化，机械和化学控制相结合来建立策略。该研究的首席研究员预计将为Shelmerdine Nursery开发一个定制的综合害虫管理系统，并为他们的员工提供使用该系统的培训。
