Hi, I'm Marco

[marcomarcomarco]

Hello everyone,
My name is Marco and I write from Sicily (Italy). I studied at agrocolture university and now I’m a PhD student in Entomology. In particular I work everyday with the insects of stored products, such as: Sithophilus, Ephestia Kuehniella. My research group study the biological control of the insects that are generally present in grain and flour. I decided to write in this forum because I have need to improve my English and probably in this web site I can find some people that can help me.

Hi Wingedwishes, our reasearch group study biological control. There are a lot of insects that are present in grain and flour and our aims is find the method for fight it with natural enemies, suce as: Anisopteromalus calandrae or Venturia canescens. Are there people who know this insects in this forum?

Hello Marco,

Welcome aboard.

There is a forum dedicated to Hymenoptera further down the Forum 2011 page. Perhaps some one knows Anisopteromalus and Venturia in that forum.

What method is currently used to protect stored grains and flours?
