Nanotechnology research led by Dr. Justin Pahara and his team of research scientists with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is underway at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre.
The groundbreaking research can address the bad pests in producer’s fields while keeping the good species and reduce the need to spray with traditional insecticides and herbicides.

The goal of Pahara’s work is to create a new generation of nanoparticle crop treatments that will help growers manage pests while maintaining the health of their field, along with increasing production and allowing them to sell what they grow around the world.
Pahara believes it’s possible to have nanoparticle treatments available to producers within the next five to 10 years.
