Research summary

Young-gyun Park studies biological pest control in agriculture, focusing on how natural enemies such as predatory insects, mites, parasitoid wasps, and fungi can be used to manage crop pests like whiteflies, thrips, and stink bugs. Recent work also examines companion planting strategies and LED/UV lighting as tools to attract beneficial insects or repel pests in greenhouse and field settings. This research is aimed at developing more sustainable, less chemical-dependent pest management methods for crops such as soybean, tomato, and papaya.
