María Victoria Seco Fernández

María Victoria Seco Fernández serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural Engineering and Sciences at the University of León's School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering, specializing in Plant Production. Her academic career is anchored in rigorous research on agricultural entomology and crop protection systems.

Her educational foundation includes a Doctorate from the University of León (1989) with the thesis Estudio comparado de la población aérea de afidos capturados en León mediante trampas de succión y de Moericke (Comparative study of aerial aphid populations captured in León using suction and Moericke traps), supervised by Dr. Juan M. Nieto Nafría. This work established her expertise in insect population monitoring methodologies.

Her research spans critical agricultural domains:

• Plant Production systems optimization
• Entomological studies of aphid population dynamics
• Sustainable Pest Management strategies
• Crop Protection techniques
• Agricultural Engineering applications
• Field monitoring methodologies

While no specific scientific awards are documented in available records, her decades-long contribution to agricultural science through teaching and thesis supervision reflects significant institutional impact. Current information does not indicate active student advising or laboratory leadership roles, though her foundational work continues to inform contemporary agricultural research at the University of León.
