Professional experience : I am working at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, Serbia since 2006. During that period I was dealing with the insects pests in fields, in storages and glasshouse. Most of my work is directed to oilseed rape pests which was also solid ground for my PhD thesis. Beside the opilseed rape I was also involved in protection of sunflower, maize, wheat, soybean and some other legumes. During last couple of years more time I am spending doing research with pollinators.
