Main fields of interest :
- Crop protection
Professional experience : I am an Engineer and a project manager specialized in crop protection. I have been working in Terres Inovia, the French technical institute for oil and protein crops and hemp since 2010. My mission is to develop, in partnership with research and development structure, agroecological strategies to manage insect pests on all crops managed by the Institute. However, I have been mainly working on winter oilseed rape and the management of cabbage stem flea beetle and rape winter stem weevil. The main projects in which I am involved are:
- The evaluation of agronomic levers (combination of agronomic levers, association of species or varieties, trap plants…)
- The monitoring on pest resistance to insecticides.
- The study and the promotion of natural enemies
- For a couple of years, the development of tolerant/resistant varieties to insect pests.
Education : Graduate engineer from AgroParitech
