The Foundation joins the FPMQ and Multi Veg projects

Since its inception in 2006, the Foundation has participated in several projects initiated by the Quebec Produce Growers' Association (Fédération des producteurs maraîchers du Québec) and a group of lettuce growers of the Multi Veg cooperative in collaboration with the Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) Horticulture Research and Development Centre (HRDC) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

These projects are:

• Genetic improvement of head lettuce - Component 3 (2004-2007)
• Commercial acceptance of head lettuce varieties (2005-2007)
• Tip burn control in romaine lettuce (2005-2007).
