Associate Professor, Entomology
Our entomology program addresses arthropod ecology and pest management in crops of the Everglades Agricultural Area. Pests and beneficial organisms occurring in sugarcane, sweet corn, and leafy vegetables are the focus of our research efforts. Our extension efforts ensure that pest management needs are identified, and up-to-date management recommendations are available to our clientele for adoption of sustainable practices.
