Research Project: Effects of potent fungal-based bio-pesticide on promising indigenous Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera Noctuidae) associated parasitoids in Kenya

Junitor is a DRIP MSc scholar supervised by Dr. Komivi Akutse (icipe) and Dr Kenof Fening Okwae (University of Ghana, Legon). She is working on Effects of Potent Fungal-Based Biopesticides on promising Indigenous Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda) (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) associated Parasitoids in Kenya. Her research aims at screening the direct and indirect effects of selected fungal biopesticides on different Fall armyworm parasitoids funded by DAAD. She completed her Bachelor of Science (Horticulture) from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
