Dr. Cerruti HooksCerruti Hooks

Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist in agricultural pest management

Dr. Hooks wants to improve the economic and ecological sustainability of farming communities through comprehensive pest management strategies. Because most crop systems are attacked by a variety of pest organisms including insect pests, weeds, plant-parasitic nematodes, and other plant pathogens, Hooks believes that these different pest complexes must be researched and addressed together in order to develop sustainable farming systems.
