Coordonnateurs : Sithanantham S., Ballal Chandish R., Jalali S.K., Bakthavatsalam N
Dr Sithanantham is an agricultural entomologist, with over 40 years of R&D experience in biological pest control in tropical countries, mainly in India and Eastern/Southern Africa. He has served in several leading national/international organizations including TNAU, ICAR, ICRISAT, FAO and ICIPE. His focal crops for biocontrol include cereals, legumes, sugarcane, cotton and vegetables. Trichogrammatid egg parasitoids have been among his major target insects in R&D. He has edited four books besides publishing 10 book chapters and over 120 research articles. He also served as joint editor for the Indian Journal of Plant Protection for four years. Presently, he is Director - Entomology, Sun Agro Biosystems, Porur, and Chennai.
Dr (Ms.) Chandish R Ballal is serving as Principal Scientist (Agricultural Entomology), in-charge Mass Production Laboratory and Unit, Division of Insect Ecology, National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects (erstwhile Project Directorate of Biological Control) (ICAR), Bangalore. She has 29 years of research experience in the field of biological control of crop pests. Her major areas of interest are to develop production protocols for host insects and potential parasitoids and predators and to evaluate mass produced natural enemies against target pests. Amongst parasitoids, she has worked on trichogrammatids, scelionids, braconids, ichneumonids and encyrtids and amongst predators on chrysopids, coccinellids and anthocorids She has around 175 Research publications including research papers, book chapters/scientific reviews, technical documents/bulletins, symposia papers and report compilations.
