New Crop Protection Hub Features

Earlier this growing season, new features were released on the Ontario Crop Protection Hub (Crop Hub). The goal of these new features is to make it easier for users to view, compare and print crop protection information.

Once you complete a crop protection search in Crop Hub, you will land on product results in the “Grid view” format, as usual. We have now added a “List view” and “Efficacy view” to the site to quickly view and compare additional information.

List View

The “List view” allows you to review rate information, product restrictions and efficacy data all in one place and can be easily printed. To access the “List view” for a specific crop, first complete a crop protection search for the desired crop. From the “Grid view” page, you can access the “List view” by:

1. Selecting one pest using the “Select pest(s)” search bar on the right-hand side of the page in “Grid view.” Please note that only one pest can be selected to access the list view.
2. Click “List view” from the three tabs underneath the main crop heading in “Grid view.”
3. To print this page, click the “Print view” button in the top right corner and this should pull up your browser’s print function and allow you to print the page.

Note: depending on your browser’s print settings, you may need to alter the scale of the page. A scale of 60% tends to work well. 

Efficacy View

The efficacy view allows you to compare the efficacy of available products in controlling pests. To access the “Efficacy view” for a specific crop, first complete a crop protection search for the desired crop. From the “Grid view” page, you can access the “Efficacy view” by:

1. Selecting at least one pest using the “Select pest(s)” search bar on the right-hand side of the page in “Grid view.” A maximum of 10 pests can be selected at once.
2. Once you have selected up to 10 pests, click the “Efficacy view” tab from the three tabs underneath the main crop heading.
3. To print this page, click the “Print view” button in the top right corner and this should pull up your browser’s print function and allow you to print the page.

Note: depending on your browser’s print settings, you may need to alter the scale of the page. A scale of 60% tends to work well.
