BS in Agronomy from São Paulo State University (1983), MS degree in Biological Sciences: Entomology from University of São Paulo (1987) and Ph.D in Entomology from University of Nebraska- Lincoln, NE, USA (1995). I am currently a full professor at School of Agricultural and Veterinarian Sciences, São Paulo State University, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil, where I am instructor in Agronomy and Biological Sciences undergraduate programs; advise graduate students in the Agricultural Entomology Graduate Program. I am also adviser in the Graduate Program in Entomology at College of Philosophy, Sciences and Arts, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, SP as well as adjunct professor at Department of Entomology, University of Nebraska- Lincoln. I have experience in Agronomy focusing on agricultural entomology. The research interests include natural factors of insect population regulation and insect-plant interactions aiming at enhancing biological control and integrated pest management programs in agroecosystems.

The Engineering Research Center - Plant Health in Sugarcane (ERC-PHS) is proposed to develop basic and applied studies on sugarcane pest management. Despite the historical success of biological control programs of insect pests and breeding programs for diseases, the sugarcane industry still faces important pest and disease problems.

Sugarcane is subjected to a variety of yield limiting stressors that can act individually or simultaneously during the development of plants. Most studies that assessed the impact of these stressors disregarded such interactions. Consequently, the purpose of this project is to determine the physiological and spectral responses of sugarcane plants under stresses caused by the attack of the…
Understanding which factors lead to mortality of organisms and why population densities fluctuate in time has been the subject of several studies during the 20th. century. Naturally or anthropic occurring factors, comprehension of spatial distribution, magnitude, and moment of occurrence are essential for population dynamics studies. Multidecremental life table allows describing and quant…
The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, was introduced into the USA back four years ago and has caused serious soybean yield reduction. Several natural enemies were observed attacking such a pest. Despite this observation, only economic threshold level was developed for pesticide use. In other words, pesticide is still the main strategy used to control the pest. Thus, the objective of this pro…
