Pest Management & Biological Control Research Unit

My primary responsibilities include providing technical support for biological research involving insect biology, insect population dynamics, biological control and integrated pest management.  I participate in all aspects of this research, including research planning, data collection, data analysis and interpretation of experimental results.  I am also responsible for maintaining various colonies of predatory insects, including Geocoris, Collops and Orius, for use in field/greenhouse/laboratory studies.
