Dr. Sriyanka Lahiri
Assistant Professor of Entomology and Nematology
Dr. Sriyanka Lahiri’s research program focuses on developing management strategies for insect and mite pests of small fruit crops, including strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry.
Emphasis is put on determining basic and applied ecological knowledge of pests and their natural enemies and competitor species. This knowledge will be used to better integrate biological and chemical, cultural, physical and other controls.
Dr. Lahiri collaborates locally, nationally and internationally with researchers from multiple disciplines and works closely with industry and grower groups to identify and address pest concerns.

Extension
Extension activities of this program will be geared towards reduced cost of production, while meeting current crop production standards and public expectations. Through workshops, educational materials available online and in-person communication, this program will be able to help the growers and general public with correct identification of pests and associated crop damage. This, in turn, will hlep them make the most informed decision and manage their farms efficiently.
