Geneviève Marchand, Ph.D.
I lead a research program on plant pathology for vegetable crops grown in the greenhouse and other controlled environments.
Current research and/or projects
Developing resistance to Tomato brown rugose fruit virus
Nunavut Off-Grid Mobile Plant Growth Unit in Gjoa Haven to Support Northern and Inuit-led Agriculture Research
Development of a modular microclimate monitoring system to monitor the impact of new technologies on greenhouse energy efficiency
Strategies for the Growth of Healthy Nutrient-Rich Plants for Northern and Remote Communities
Research and/or project statements
My research program aims to investigate new ways to detect, identify, and manage pathogens causing diseases having an economic impact on vegetables grown in greenhouses and controlled environments.
I am also occasionally called upon to participate in research projects on other horticultural crops.
Professional activities / interests
I am a member of the Canadian Phytopathological Society (CPS), where I serve on different committees. I am also the editor for section L, "Vegetables and Special Crops - Diseases" of the "Pest Management Research Report - Insect Pests and Plant Diseases" published annually by the CPS.
