Research projects

Utilization of synergies between conservation and inoculation biological control
We are investigating the impact of complementary biological control strategies on pest control of Delia spp. and interactions between the control agents. The study combines inoculation biological control, using entomopathogenic fungi, with conservation biological control of the specialist parasitoid Trybliographa rapae and the generalist predator/parasitoid Aleochara bipustulata in a crop rotation system.
