Biography
Suleiman is developing sustainable pest management strategies for oilseed rape to mitigate losses caused by key establishment pests - cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) and grey field slugs (Deroceras reticulatum). His research focuses on a push-pull approach, utilizing attractive and repellent semiochemicals alongside the incorporation of entomopathogenic fungi.
