The centre was founded in 1909 and focuses on research to enhance environmentally sustainable crop production systems of the Atlantic regions.
[1] A rosehip variety called AAC Sylvia-Arlene was development at the research centre which was aimed at producing a higher antioxidant than normal.
The AAC Sylvia Arlene is intended for commercial hips production in the Maritime and cooling growing regions.
[2] A model of critical phosphorus concentration in the shoot biomass of wheat was conducted in order to assess the level of crop nutrition.
The tests were conducted using LEACHN simulations and GIS based land data, this method proved to be successful in gauging the nutrient flow in the surrounded groundwater.
