植物农业理学硕士-生产系统

了解植物生产系统对于维持安大略省田地以及园艺作物和草皮目前的生产率水平至关重要。该部门的成立是为了对植物科学进行应用性和基础性发现，从而在安大略省的主要田野和园艺商品领域实现可持续且有利可图的农业生产。这项研究致力于通过改善作物生产/管理技术和植物育种/遗传学方法来保持生产系统的利润和环境可持续性。这项研究的结果是了解以下知识：在田间和受控环境中优化作物生产的适当管理制度
Understanding plant production systems is fundamental to sustaining current productivity levels in Ontario field and horticultural crops and turf. The department was formed to make applied and basic discoveries in plant science leading to sustainable and profitable agricultural production in the major field and horticultural commodities in Ontario. This research strives to keep production systems profitable and environmentally sustainable through improvements in crop productionmanagement technologies and plant breedinggenetics methodologies. The outcome of this research is knowledge of the: appropriate management regimes to optimize crop production in field and controlled environments; effects of the environment on plant productivity; interactions between weeds and pests and crops; and long term impacts of plant production on the ecological health of waterways, soils and greenspaces in rural environments.
