Strawberry Virus Research Project
During the Summer and Fall of 2013, the PEI Federation of Agriculture and the PEI Strawberry Growers Association conducted a research project, funded through the PEI ADAPT Council, to further the understanding of the virus situation which was attacking strawberry fields on PEI and throughout the maritime Provinces.
