Insect and mites ecology, biology, monitoring and control in oasian ecosystem (Ectomyelois
ceratoniae, Oligonychus afrasiaticus, Virachola livia, Ceratitis capitata, Parlatoria
blanchardi, Oryctes agamemnon,..).
▪ Post-harvest control of insect pests of dates.
▪ Use of botanicals (plant extracts and essential oils) for pest control.
▪ Integrated and Biological Control (pheromones, parasitoids,…)
▪ Insecticides (use , resistance, residus)
▪ Insect plant interaction.
▪ Resilience improvement of Agroecosystems.
▪ Emerging pests
Insect rearing and maintenance
▪ Insect and mites Taxonomy

I would be keen to join a project studying (1) the biodiversity (mites and insects) in oases and their consequences for ecosystem function and persistence. (2) plant-insect interraction (3) climate change: insects and mites ecology and biology
(4)Use of botanicals (plant extracts and essential oils) for pest control
