Invasive species pose significant challenges to agriculture and biodiversity in Ontario. These species are not native to the region and, when introduced, often outcompete or disrupt local ecosystems, leading to reductions in agricultural productivity and damaging native habitats. In this module, we will focus on strategies for managing invasive species, including early detection, rapid response, biological control, and other integrated pest management (IPM) approaches.
By the end of this module, learners will have a strong understanding of the types of invasive species affecting Ontario agriculture, the threats they pose, and the most effective strategies for controlling and preventing their spread.
