Research Interest
my research in recent years has covered basic and applied aspects of the etiology, epidemiology, and control of opium poppy diseases (Papaver somniferum L.); artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.); cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and olive (Olea europaea L.), including: Population biology and Ecology of fungi and nematodes persisting in soil and cause Vascular Fusariosis, Mildius and Verticilosis, and their Integrated Management through environmentally friendly strategies and measures that meet the principles of Sustainable Agriculture (eg, Analysis of genetic and pathogenic diversity in populations of phytopathogenic agents
