NPARL Research Entomologist Stefan Jaronski and Biological Science Technician Julie Grace hosted a Solid Substrate Fermentation Workshop for ARS scientists from related programs Feb. 16 - 18, 2005 at the Sidney ARS facility.  In addition to the workshop, Grace developed a short how-to manual illustrating the techniques discussed during the workshop.  Click here to download The Art of Fermentation.PDF (2.7MB)

 


CURRENT RESEARCH

 

My research at Sidney centers on development of a fungal biocontrol of the Sugar beet Root Maggot (SBRM) and study of grasshopper pathogens on U. S. rangeland. The SBRM research is directed towards developing a practical mycoinsecticide that can be transferred to industry for commercialization. This work is in cooperation with USDA Fargo ND, North Dakota State University, Fargo ND, and Montana State University, Bozeman MT, and is within the larger context of a biologically based management system for both sugar beet pests and pathogens, using microorganisms, cultural practices, resistant/tolerant beet hybrids, and induced systemic response. My grasshopper work concerns evaluating new technologies and new fungi for the microbial control of grasshoppers in cooperation with USDA APHIS. I am also studying the population genetics of Beauveria bassiana derived from grasshoppers, using molecular techniques.
 

 

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

 

I joined NPARL in March 2000 as an insect pathologist after a 17-year career in industry. After a Ph.D. program and two postdoctoral appointments concerning microbial control of mosquitoes, I did an abrupt left turn and (a) left the academic community for industry, (b) changed from medical entomology to agricultural pests. From 1983 to 1992, I worked at Abbott Laboratories as an insect pathologist, during which time my research involved commercial development of Beauveria bassiana and Bacillus thuringiensis for use against a wide variety of insects. In 1992 I switched to Mycotech Corp., Butte MT, a small, venture-capital biotech group commercializing Beauveria-based mycoinsecticides. There, I spent 8 years involved in all aspects of commercial development of the fungus – from the early basic research through field trials to generation of registration data, from basic mycology to formulation chemistry, from science to marketing. My last position prior to joining ARS was Manager of Biopesticide Research and Development for Mycotech.
