Jeremy Irvine AAC
PhD StudentJeremy is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, where he completed a B.Sc. in Agriculture with a major in Agronomy. He is now pursuing his PhD in the Department of Plant Sciences, focusing on the integrated pest management of the lesser clover leaf weevil (Hypera nigrirostris) in red clover (Trifolium pratense) seed production systems. His research has established economic injury levels and thresholds for this pest, and his current work explores the chemical ecology of the lesser clover leaf weevil to develop volatile organic compound (VOC)-baited traps as a non-chemical control strategy.
