Contributions to Knowledge

My research activities involve the screening of plant materials for insecticidal properties against field and storage pests to boost agricultural production and food security. It also involves studies on the reproductive biology of arthropods viz. crabs and shrimps towards enchantment of the aquaculture of these resources.
