Specialization:
- Integrated pest management in wheat, barley, chickpea, lentil and fava bean
Research conducted covers the following areas:
- Biology of the pests; estimation of yield losses; cultural practices (planting dates); biological control (predators, parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi); botanical insecticides (Neem, Melia); host plant resistance: (screening of germplasm, mechanisms of resistance and biotypes characterization through differentials and molecular techniques).
