Entomology and the units of Nematology and Chemistry
Head: Ben-Yakir David, Ph.D.
Staff

  • Integrated Pest Management and Arthropod Ecology.
  • Environment-friendly Control Measures.
  • Chemical Control, Insecticide Biochemistry and Toxicology.
  • Insect and nematode Physiology and Biochemistry.
  • Taxonomy and Faunistic Surveys.

Study of population dynamics of arthropod pests in deciduous fruit trees and citrus orchards, cut flower beds and field crops. Investigating migratory movement rates, using the composition of insect communities as an indicator of environmental perturbation for conservation. Utilization of geostatistical tools and geographic information systems in the study of spatial dependence of the citrus and forest insects. Development of phenological models; study of dispersion patterns in scale insects and the development of optimal sampling units and utilization of molecular and statistical techniques to analyze the geographic origin of insect pests and for the study of population genetics.
