research
My academic background is in agronomy,
and I have been working on chemical ecology and behavior of orchard
pests since I started my PhD in 2002. My interest is focused on the
research and implementation of semiochemicals that may play an
important role in low-input pesticide control strategies. I have worked
on both insect-insect and plant-insect communication, but currently I
am working on the mechanisms involved in low density-high release
mating disruption techniques of two walnut pests, the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) and the navel
orangeworm (Amyelois transitella).
Although my experience in other fields is limited, I
like participating in seminars and discussions related to other pest
control techniques alternative to pesticide use, such as biological
control or GMO crops.
