Science translated into practical crop-protection decisions
I combine research training with hands-on commercial experience in IPM, biological control and crop production.
Dr. Abdelkader Meni Mahzoum
PhD entomologist and crop-protection specialist.
My professional background spans Integrated Pest Management, biological control, commercial crop production and postdoctoral research in agroecology. I have worked as an Integrated Pest Manager, Crop Manager, Cultivation Planner, Postdoctoral Researcher in Agroecology and Process Developer in the biological-control industry.
My work includes biological control, agricultural entomology, beneficial organisms, orchard pest management, controlled-environment crop production and scientific evidence synthesis.
I am also an author of peer-reviewed scientific research and inventor of granted Portuguese patent PT 118481 B involving Phytoseiulus persimilis.
The common thread is simple: use scientific evidence to make better crop-protection decisions.
