       报告人简介:Dr. Lambert H. B. Kanga is Professor of Entomology at Florida

       A&M University (FAMU). He earned a Ph.D degree in Entomology at Texas A&M University and a French Doctoral degree in Biology/Ecology at the University of Ivory Coast/University of Bordeaux, France. His breadth of research capability spans from basic to applied and he has conducted scholarly research programs of insecticide resistance and pest management in cotton, tree fruit, honey bee, and forest ecosystems.

　　报告内容简介:The development of insecticide resistance in the Oriental fruit moth (OFM), Grapholita molesta (Busck), has caused great concern regarding the sustainability of peach production in the United States and Canada. Thus, a resistance management program was implemented and a resistance monitoring procedure was developed for adult OFM. To this end, OFM was found to have negative cross-resistance to organophosphate insecticides which allowed to design of an integrated pest management strategy using four different treatment regimens. Overall results indicated that resistance was unstable; a strategy based on rotation of insecticides, use of beneficial insects and mating disruption techniques were successful in managing insecticide resistance in the Oriental fruit moth populations.

　　报告人简介:Dr. Muhammad Haseeb is an Assistant Professor and Research Entomologist in the Center for Biological Control, College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, Florida A&M University. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 2001 in Entomology at Chiba University, Japan. He received his Master’s (1991) and Bachelor’s (1989) degrees in Entomology at Gomal University, Pakistan. He has a strong background in Entomology, especially in Biological Control, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and Invasive Insect Pests Identification and Management.

　　报告内容简介:Several pest insects cause serious challenges for economically important vegetables and small fruits in north Florida. Growers and industry need effective pest management solutions to control serious pest insects in conventional and organic cropping systems. FAMU’s IPM Program has been

　　developing and implementing effective IPM strategies in specialty crops since 2010. For example, to manage Nezara viridula in tomatoes, the use of trap crops and refuge crops were evaluated during 2014- 2015. For small fruit crop protection (blueberries and blackberries), several traps and bait systems were evaluated in 2016 and 2017 to properly monitor and manage Drosophila suzukii. During 2017-2018, a study on the pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii was carried out to find its distribution within the pepper plants. Based on these findings, small scale growers are being trained to sustain crop productivity and profitability of their farms in north Florida.
