Understanding Canada’s Diverse Ag Landscape
We aim to support retail distributors and growers throughout Canada’s distinct regions: the Western, Central, and Atlantic Provinces. Each region’s climate and soil influence crop success, making a broad range of pesticides crucial for protecting against pests, weeds, and diseases, ensuring healthy growth and high yields. Atticus will soon offer reliable, proven chemistries with trusted active ingredients for these diverse environments:
Western
The Prairie Provinces are known for their extensive flatlands and fertile soils, making them a major ag hub. Large-scale farming of grains and oilseeds like wheat, canola, barley, and pulses necessitates the use of various pesticides to manage weed, insect, and disease pressures. The horticultural region of British Columbia specializes in crops like grapes and berries, presenting unique challenges within its high-intensity cultivation environment.
Central
The Central Provinces have a more temperate climate and diverse ag activities due to their varying topography and soil types. The region’s diverse crop production, including corn, soybeans, vines, fruits, and vegetables, results in a meed for tailored pesticide applications, making a comprehensive pesticide portfolio to your operations integral.
Atlantic
The Atlantic Provinces have a maritime climate, which supports a different mix of ag products. The focus on potatoes, blueberries, apples, and various vegetables requires specific pesticide strategies to protect these crops from local pests and diseases.
