Evaluation of Non-Target Arthropods and Weed Diversity in a Transgenic Maize Line under Different Weed Control Regimes

Maintenance of maize field plots:

Standard agronomic practices consistent with maize production of the region will be used for tillage, fertilization, and planting. All maintenance practices (fertilization, irrigation, etc) will be applied uniformly to the entire trial area. Herbicide applications will be applied on different dates to study their effects as well transgenic maize plants on the non-taget arthropods.

Arthropod observations:

Arthropod counts will be taken periodically through the growing season, focusing before and after herbicide applications and around pollen shed. The primary focus will be the sampling of key indicator species from a range of functional groups in the field:  predators, parasitoids, detritivores and herbivores.  In as much as it is possible, data should be collected at a similar time of day for each observation period within each monitoring method.

Arthropod identification:

Visual observation counts will be identified and recorded at the field locations.  Specimens collected in the sticky traps and pitfall traps will be returned to the laboratory for identification and counts.  All samples will be clearly labeled.

My interests are

  1. Study effects of Jasmonic acid on natural enemies & pests populations in BT crops, and also effect of BT crops on natural enemies.
  2. I'm interesting in research in integrated pest management and applied biological control agents; arasitoids& predators (ex. Trichogramma and Chrysoperla)
  3. Using Gas Chromatography MS and other analytical chemistry methods to evaluate and identify plant volatiles and study their effects on attractiveness of parasitoids.
  4. Using plants with insecticidal properties (Neem and Its derivatives) to control insect pests.
