Jeremy Irvine (he/him) BSc, PAg
PhD Candidate Department of Plant SciencesJeremy Irvine (he/him/il) is a Vanier Scholar and PhD student at the University of Saskatchewan, where he investigates the chemical ecology and integrated management of insect pests in forage seed systems. His work focuses on the lesser clover leaf weevil, a key pest in red clover seed production. 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. His website hosts his academic portfolio as well as research updates, publications, and grower-oriented decision tools.
