Research interests are centered on vegetable and fruit crops IPM and sustainable strategies, with a particular focus on applied research to formulate specific IPM and insecticide resistance management (IRM) tactics in Alabama.

Main focus areas include (not particularly in order of interest):

• Insecticide resistance management
• Pest monitoring improvement
• Multi-level (field-greenhouse-lab) pest management experimentation
• Insects and mites dispersal and other non-chemical strategies for organic crops IPM
• Toxicology and sublethal effects of xenobiotics in target and non-target insects
