As a research fellow in the Urban and Rural Entomology Lab, my focus was on mass rearing Musca domestica (house fly) and rearing Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle) populations. For house flies, I developed controlled laboratory conditions and optimized an artificial diet, monitoring their reproduction and fitness. Concurrently, I studied the impact of wheat and gram flour on red flour beetle populations, contributing valuable insights to pest management strategies and population dynamics in stored grains. This experience provided a comprehensive understanding of mass rearing techniques and artificial diet
development for common insect pests.
As a research fellow at Syngenta lab, my work focused on assessing the efficacy of eco-friendly insecticides against the Spodoptera litura population, commonly known as the tobacco cutworm. Through meticulous experimentation and data analysis, our research provided promising insights into sustainable pest management. The culmination of our efforts resulted in the publication of the research article titled "Assessing the Efficacy of Eco-Friendly Insecticides against the Spodoptera litura (Tobacco Cutworm) Population, " contributing to Syngenta's commitment to sustainable agriculture. This experience has deepened my understanding of the intersection between science, agriculture, and environmental responsibility.
