PEI has long been an area of Canada that is known for growing quality island-grown potatoes.[2] This has led to the potato industry investing in methods in which potatoes can grow better, and without disease. One disease in particular that was hampered the PEI potato producers in the past decade is the wire-worm. This spurred scientist Christine Noronha to create a wireworm trap which severely deterred the pest from affecting nearby potato crops.[3]
Organic researchedit
Acreage at the facility has been certified organic, becoming the only research centre in Canada to do so.[4][5]
Locationedit
The research farm is located north of Charlottetown on 1200 Brackley Point Road.
