Josephine Antwi is an Assistant Professor and Irrigated Crop Entomology Specialist at Oregon State University's College of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Crop and Soil Science. Her research focuses on pest management, particularly understanding multi-trophic interactions between insects, crops, and microbes under changing environmental conditions. She investigates major pests of crops like potatoes, cereals, alfalfa, corn, and specialty crops.
Key research areas include microbial influences on pest behavior, environmental variables affecting pest-crop dynamics, and sustainable pest control strategies. Her work emphasizes collaboration with lab members and cross-border partnerships to enhance IPM programs. Recent publications explore aphid microbiota, Lygus bug management, and invasive species like the lesser maple leaf blotch miner.
Antwi's outreach includes extension activities and peer review for journals like the Journal of Integrated Pest Management. She has no listed scientific awards but maintains an active publication record in entomology and agricultural sciences.
