Thank you to the team at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for hosting faculty and students for the discussions, breakouts and tours at the Harrow Research Station.
#AgUWin is an opportunity for @UWindsor to support global food security and sustainable food production.
Tomorrow is the CBS Graduate student symposium! HUGE shoutout to the organizers and sponsors of this event because I absolutely adore this event. I can't wait to learn about and hype the research tomorrow!
What are your thoughts on having your managed bees deliver biological protective agents to crops? Could be a win-win IMHO. Now sharing details of our study using this strategy for control of pests on greenhouse strawberry. Let me know what you think!
