I am interested to:

• Run experiments on different aspects of Entomology including:
• Agricultural pests experiments - current research on date palm pests management, red palm weevil biology and behavior, date palm mites management, and date moths seasonal distribution.
• Forest Entomology - current research on seasonal distribution of Acacia tree insects, and survey of Entomophona of western forest region of Saudi Arabia.
• Feeding behavior studies, current research on insects feeding behavior on their host plants (subjected to different stresses) using an electronic feeding monitor.
• Studying the seasonal distribution and life cycles of agricultural and forest insects and manage their numbers within an IPM approach concept.
