我的研究和扩展计划的重点是为蔬菜开发健全的昆虫管理策略，为其他作物的分拆，使用对昆虫生态原则的声音理解。这种广泛的重点使我们能够在许多重要昆虫上同时同时工作。我们的计划适用于目前可用的策略，并帮助他们纳入害虫管理计划，并为未来制定新的策略。项目的例子包括：开发特定作物的抽样和治疗指南;了解和修改影响侵扰风险的生态因素;将生物控制纳入昆虫管理策略;宿主植物抵抗机制，与企业发展抗性种质;对BT植物和传统杀虫剂进行环境风险评估;评估目前注册的杀虫剂和开发的对害虫和非靶毒性生物的影响;发育杀虫剂抵抗管理策略; studying the movement of insects within and between crops in the agroecosystem; working in a team to develop and deploy Bt vegetable crops; developing trap crop strategies for IPM. Our extension program focuses on helping growers implement sound IPM strategies and educating the public about agricultural issues, including biological control and biotechnology. Our program is also involved in helping develop regulatory policies on a national and international level, especially for transgenic insecticidal plants. International activities are focused primarily in India, Bangladesh, China, and Latin America.
