Research Interests
My research is concentrating on insect dispersal (ecology
and monitoring), insect transmission of pathogens (PVY), and the control
of insect pests (cultural, physical and biological) as they relate
to integrated pest management in organic potato production.
Recent Projects
-
Differentiation of potato farming systems on the basis of relationships between physical, chemical and biological soil parameters
-
Influence of fertilization on the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, in organic potato production
On going Project
Impact of physical barriers such as plastic lined trenches
on the dispersal of the arthropod fauna of organic potato fields.
