Research summary

This researcher studies methods for protecting stored grains and other crops from insect pests after harvest, with a strong focus on airtight ('hermetic') storage bags and containers as a low-chemical alternative to pesticides. Work spans testing natural insect repellents and fumigants (like essential oils), evaluating hermetic storage for crops such as maize, cowpea, beans, rice, millet, and cocoa in various countries, and studying how farmers adopt and benefit from these storage technologies. The research combines lab-based pest biology experiments with field studies on farmer practices and technology adoption in Africa and South America.
