Research

The Raupp Lab investigates mechanisms of host plant resistance, the ecology and behavior of herbivores and their predators, parasitoids, and pathogens, and the impact of landscape design on pest and natural enemy population dynamics. Dr. Raupp's extension program seeks to develop and implement integrated pest management (IPM) programs for landscape, nursery and greenhouse systems.
