My research team in crop protection is studying the biology, epidemiology and ecology of economically significant diseases and insect pests. The overarching objective of the research is to facilitate innovative and sustainable management of crop pests (insects and diseases) using disruptive new tools that can be incorporated with the less harmful existing control options in diverse farming systems. Plant Disease Epidemiology and Management: Diagnostics, Ecology, Biology and Management of Plant Diseases; Host-Pathogen interaction: Elucidating pathogen biology, ecology and disease resistance
