英文摘要
Wildflower plantings have become increasingly more apparent and important for supporting biodiversity in impoverished landscapes, parks, golf course roughs, and seed production farms. Wildflowers are typically planted as seed mixes and a nurse crop is recommended. Cover or nurse crops help stabilize erodible sites and reduce aggressive weed encroachment. Current practices focus on the use of ryegrass as a nurse crop. In the past year, Northern Wildflowers, a wildflower seed producer located in Whitefish, Ontario has encountered several challenges with the use of ryegrass as a nurse crop in their seed mixes: ryegrass is not easily procured in Northern Ontario, it competes with native grasses, and it can also compete with the native wildflowers. The company would like to explore alternative nurse crops that will be easily procured in their region and that do not compete with native plants, but studies on such alternative are limited. Therefore, the objective of the new partnership between Collège Boréal and Northern Wildflowers is to test the effectiveness of various novel nurse crops in supporting the germination and survival of native seeds to develop a new seed mix recipe for Northern Wildflowers. The results of the study will provide Northern Wildflowers with a product that will increase biodiversity and ecosystem services while increasing their efficiency.#(cr)#(lf)Les plantations de fleurs sauvages sont de plus en plus populaires et reconnues comme un moyen important pour soutenir la biodiversité dans les terrains dégradés, les parcs, les terrains de golf et les fermes de production de semences. Les fleurs sauvages sont généralement plantées sous forme de mélanges de graines et une culture couvre-sol est recommandée. Les cultures couvre-sol aident à stabiliser les sites érodables et à réduire la prolifération de mauvaises herbes. Les pratiques actuelles sont axées sur l'utilisation de l'ivraie de Perse ou ray-grass comme culture couvre-sol. Au cours de la dernière année, Northern Wildflowers, un producteur de semences de fleurs sauvages situé à Whitefish, en Ontario, a rencontré plusieurs problèmes liés à l'utilisation du ray-grass comme culture couvre-sol dans ses mélanges de semences : le ray-grass n'est pas facile à trouver dans le nord de l'Ontario, il fait concurrence aux herbes indigènes et il peut également concurrencer les fleurs sauvages. L'entreprise aimerait explorer d'autres plantes couvre-sol qui sont plus facilement disponibles dans sa région et qui n'entrent pas en compétition avec les plantes indigènes, mais il existe peu d'études sur le sujet. Par conséquent, l'objectif du nouveau partenariat entre le Collège Boréal et Northern Wildflowers est de tester l'efficacité de diverses nouvelles plantes couvre-sol pour favoriser la germination et la survie de graines indigènes de fleurs sauvages afin de développer une nouvelle recette de mélange de graines pour Northern Wildflowers. Les résultats de l'étude fourniront à Northern Wildflowers un produit qui favorisera la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques tout en augmentant son efficacité.
