Rachael joined the AgraPoint team in March, 2009 and brought with her 10 years of extension experience in the horticulture industry.

From 1998 to 2007, she was the Integrated Pest Management Specialist for PEI, in which role she dealt directly with farmers and industry groups and covered a whole range of crops. In 2007 she was appointed as the PEI Department’s Potato Industry Coordinator, coordinating research, training and extension activities for that important industry.

During her time in PEI she was PEI’s Minor Use Coordinator, and served on various regional and national expert committees.

Rachael has experience in Insect, Weed, and Disease Identification and Management and has worked on many projects involving pesticide risk reduction. She has written numerous pest management factsheets and coordinated and edited an IPM Manual for PEI Potato Production.

Rachael has spent her time at AgraPoint working with clients in the vegetable, highbush blueberry, cranberry and grape sectors in Nova Scotia to provide timely extension information and has worked on a number of research projects in these sectors. Rachael works closely with the other members of the Horticulture team to provide the best advice possible to her clients.
