National crop profiles are developed by the Pest Management Program of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The crop profiles provide baseline information on production and pest management practices and document growers’ needs to address pest management gaps and issues for specific crops grown in Canada. This information is developed through extensive consultation with stakeholders and data collected from reporting provinces. Reporting provinces are selected based on their acreage of the target crop (>5% of the national production) and provide qualitative data on pest occurrence and integrated pest management practices used by growers in those provinces. This crop profile covers field leafy vegetables providing detailed information on lettuce (head and leaf) and spinach. For lettuce and spinach production, the reporting provinces are British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. .
