The Muck Crops Research Station is an agriculture research facility near Kettleby and Ansnorveldt, in Ontario, Canada. It is operated by the Office of Research at the University of Guelph.
The station's research[1] is focussed on several key areas:
- Crop protection of muck vegetables
- Evaluation of vegetable cultivars
- Post-harvest storage and treatment
- Soil and crop management
The station features greenhouses with a system-controlled environment, a plant pathology laboratory, and long-term cold storage. Seven hectares of land are split into plots devoted to researching organic and mineral soils. Local growers also participate in commercial field trials on occasion.[2]
