High populations of nematodes in any soil will reduce or destroy the crop’s ability to absorb much needed nutrients, and can be a major cause of poor crop performance. In any production system nematode analysis will provide vital information to the performance of a specific crop and may be critical in planning crop rotations. A&L Canada has complete comprehensive nematode analysis capabilities with a full time nematologist on staff.
The Berry Patch web page by A&L Canada (Greg Patterson) is an interactive web site for small fruit growers. This web site deals with production information and Nutrition of Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries.
A Newsletter on production of these crops will be placed on this web site on a regular basis that will take the grower through the different nutritional requirements and specific production techniques at the various stages of growth. Each newsletter will contain current research information and techniques in growing small fruit that will deal with yield and quality issues of these crops.
The Newsletters will be written by a number of authors, however the majority of the information will be written by Greg Patterson who has over 20 years experience in small fruit nutrition and production techniques.

Plant analysis is an important nutrient management tool. Monitoring of plant nutrient levels at critical crop growth stages through the growing season can help identify potential and existing nutritional problems that can affect crop quality and yield.
In addition to our standard tissue program, we are pleased to offer a special Plant Monitoring Program (PMP)
1. Evaluate your anticipated cropping plans prior to the growing season and select the fields to be monitored with the PMP.
2. Enroll fields in the PMP by completing and submitting a PMP Enrollment Form.
3. A unique Plant Monitoring ID (PMID) is assigned for each field.
4. Plant samples are submitted with a PMP Submittal Form.
5. Sample analyses are reported on our special PMP Report Form.

For A&L Canada Laboratories there is no higher priority to us then the safety of our customers, employees and communities which we serve. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted all of us in some way and we continue to monitor the situation very closely.
Through guidance from the respective authorities we have taken action towards the safety of our customers and employees. As such, we have equipped our laboratory and offices with additional cleaning supplies, disinfectant wipes, and sanitizers. All our employees have been advised to follow a safety protocol of regular handwashing, ongoing cleaning of surfaces, and avoiding physical contact. In the event a staff member feels unwell, we are asking such employees to stay home and seek appropriate medical attention according to the Ontario Ministry of Health guidelines
For clients bringing samples to the lab, we encourage using the drop box or delivering to the front foyer of the office. Shipping by courier remains a very good means of delivering samples and minimizing physical proximity with others.
In the meantime, our facilities will continue to remain open and available to serve your needs through these challenging times. We value our relationship with you and are doing all we can to support the safety and well-being of our customers and staff.
Sincerely,
A&L Canada Laboratories Inc.
