Dollars For Vegetable Plant Immune Response Research

The Vineland Research and Innovation Centre is getting funding from a couple of sources for it's work on field and greenhouse crops.

Just over 614 thousand dollars is coming from the Ontario Research Fund.

It will be used to buy new equipment to improve Vineland's plant growth facilities and plant phenotyping capabilities.

A similar amount is coming from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.

Vineland is using that to fund an investigation into techniques to promote plant health through the suppression of pathogens or by enhancing plant immune response to support field and greenhouse crops.
