| Significant losses in crop yield, quality and marketability have been attributed to wireworms, a pest of growing concern and widening distribution in Nova Scotia and across Canada. While the Maritime Provinces harbour indigenous wireworm species, three species introduced to North America from European ship ballast cause the lion's share of damage. The destructive larvae of these three species, Agriotes lineatus, A. obscurus, and A. sputator, persist in the soil for several years, feeding on the roots of host plants and causing significant reductions in the yield and quality of economically important crops. Root crops such as potatoes and carrots are particularly susceptible because damage (holes produced by feeding larvae) to the new tubers and carrots... |

| Des pertes considérables du rendement, de la qualité et de la commercialité des cultures ont été attribuées à la larve de taupin, un ravageur qui préoccupe sans cesse davantage et dont la distribution progresse en Nouvelle-Écosse et partout au Canda. Alors que les Maritimes abritent des espèces indigènes de la larve de taupin, trois espèces introduites en Amérique du Nord par les eaux de ballast des navires européens causent la majeure partie des dommages. La larve destructrice de ces trois espèces, Agriotes lineatus, A. obscurus, et A. sputator, demeure dans le sol pendant de nombreuses années, se nourrit des racines des plantes hôtes et réduit considérablement le rendement et la qualité de cultures importantes au plan économique. Les plantes cultivées... |

| In this paper we provide an overview of the goals and potential benefits of a national science program for organic agriculture in Canada from 2013-2018 (application currently under review). The “Organic Science Cluster II (OSCII): Science With Impact for Profitability, Sustainability and Competitiveness” is linked with Canada’s Organic Value Chain Roundtable, the think tank addressing priorities for increasing capacity and market development for organic. OSCII will increase competitiveness by addressing barriers that are constraining production and by capturing new market opportunities such as emerging crops, aquaculture, and ornamental horticulture. OSCII will be coordinated and managed by the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada at Dalhousie University’s... |
