Research Interests and Technical Responsibilities

Research interests: Integrated pest management, insect chemical ecology (EAG, GC-EAD, Single-sensillum recordings), semiochemical based insect traps, visual cues, insect neurophysiology, host-vector-pathogen interactions, hemipteran feeding behaviors and pathogen transmission (Electrical Penetration Graph), cultural management practices, plant resistance mechanisms, mosquito olfaction and flight behaviors, fungal entomopathogens, biocontrol using parasitoids and predators, tri-trophic interactions.

Dr. George is currently doing research on the biology, behavior, chemical ecology, plant-insect interactions, and biological control of various insect pests in cotton, corn and soybean in order to develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Current research focuses on developing semiochemical based trapping methods for sustainable management of plant bugs and other lepidopteran pests in cotton, soybean and corn. Pheromone/attractants that are identified using chemical (SPME, GC, GC-MS), behavioral (Y-tube olfactometer assays) and electrophysiological (EAG, GC-EAD) techniques will be used to develop semiochemical-based trapping methods for efficient monitoring and management of plant bugs and other lepidopteran pests. Understanding the feeding behaviors of tarnished plant bugs (TPB) and other pentatomids in row crops and on other wild hosts using Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) recordings will contribute to the development of trap cropping and other cultural management strategies. .
