معرفی
Dr. Arash Kheirodin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on integrated pest management (IPM), molecular ecology, and sustainable solutions for controlled environment agriculture (CEA). He leads projects on biological control of pests like green peach aphids and whiteflies in leafy greens, strawberries, and peppers. His work emphasizes leveraging natural enemies, compatible bio-chemical products, and banker plants to enhance pest control efficacy.
