Tree Fruit IPM Integrator: Julianna Tuell
Email Julianna. View her website.

I am a Michigan native and graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture (1997), a Master of Science in Plant Pathology (2003), and a Ph.D. in Entomology and the Program in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior (2007).

Just prior to becoming the new Tree Fruit Integrator, I was employed by the Isaacs Lab to study the impact of crop management practices, including pest management and habitat manipulation, on native bees in Michigan.  

As the new Tree Fruit Integrator, the focus of my work will be to address the needs of the tree fruit industry here in Michigan. My broad interests are in how we might build better farm systems - with particular emphasis on how farm management practices intersect with ecosystem services to produce healthy, marketable tree fruit.
