Ashley Leach studies how to manage insect pests in crops like onions, watermelon, grapes, and orchard fruit while minimizing insecticide use and protecting beneficial insects such as pollinators. This work combines field studies on pest biology (e.g., thrips, spotted lanternfly, codling moth) with research into practical, farmer-adopted pest management strategies and their effects on yield, pesticide use, and non-target species.
Publication output was low and sporadic from 2017-2024 (0-3 papers per year, including a gap in 2021 and 2023) but increased sharply in 2025-2026 with 6 and 3 publications respectively.
