Manitoba Flax Growers Moving Office To Carman

 
The Manitoba Flax Growers Association (MFGA) has announced that it will be moving its office to Carman.
 
Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers will will administer its operations and programming effective March 1, 2018.
 
The relocation follows the recent closure of the Flax Council of Canada’s Winnipeg office, where MFGA operations were being run.
 
“We believe this is a great opportunity for us to continue to provide good service to members and create operational efficiencies to ensure best use of our financial resources,” says MFGA Chair Eric Fridfinnson. “We want to thank Francois Labelle, his staff and the board of Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers for providing this opportunity. We look forward to working with them in this new arrangement.
 
“We also want to thank Monika Haley, who has administered our organization for the past several years. She has done a tremendous job for us, and we wish her the best in her new endeavours. As MFGA faces declining acres, this arrangement offers us a great opportunity to join the “hub” of commodity groups already in Carman.”

The predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis is a highly effective biological control agent for spider mite infestations. As the first company to introduce this natural enemy, Koppert has been a pioneer in sustainable crop protection.

How does Phytoseiulus work?

•Adult mites feed on all life stages of spider mites.

•Nymphs consume spider mite eggs, larvae, and protonymphs.

•Although blind, Phytoseiulus detects spider mites by sensing webbing and leaf damage.

•It eliminates its prey by sucking out the contents, leaving only the empty skin behind.

Why use Phytoseiulus for spider mite control?

•High predation rate ensures rapid spider mite suppression.

•Fast life cycle leads to effective population growth.

•100% natural solution for sustainable pest control.
