Rachel Lancaster
Regional coordination in WA will be shared between Rachel Lancaster and Mark Warmington. Rachel has worked in research and extension with Western Australian horticultural businesses for more than 28 years. After many years with the WA Department of Agriculture, in 2016 she left to become principal of EATS (Environmental and Agricultural Testing Services) as well as consulting privately on a wide range of research projects. As a result, Rachel has investigated plant nutrition, disease, insect and weed management and efficient crop irrigation. With skills in implementing and analysing trials as well as working with growers, Rachel is ideally qualified to work with the PotatoLink team managing activities in WA.
