About this listen
Meet Lara Amiri-Kazaz, a Ph.D. student in the field ofsustainable integrated pest management. Lara started her IPM journey hating bugs but is now loving her entomology research. A self-proclaimed “field rat,” Lara is testing if the presence of predatory insects in chile pepper fields can keep away aphids that transmit alfalfa mosaic virus. Aphids don’t stay in chile pepper fields and can give a plant the virus within minutes of feeding on it, making this a difficult pest problem to manage.
