DEPARTMENT OF INSECT ECOLOGY

 

Functions and tasks:

To research the diversity and applied taxonomy of natural enemies of pest in the agro-ecosystem.

To study the population structure, development of natural enemies of pest on agricultural systems.

To conduct ecological studies for the strategies of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Viet Nam.

 

Activities:

The department staff have coordinated and participated in the implementation of various research programs and projects (national and international). Some of these include the following:

·         National Program 48.01.04.01 (Biology for Agriculture) which provided scientific information of the most important groups of biological agents for control of pests on rice and jute crops (1981-1985).

·         National Program KT.02.07 on the sustainable use of bio-resources in Viet Nam.

·         The National Program for fundamental research on ecology and biology of important insects in tropical habitats of Viet Nam (1986-1990).

·         The National Project to survey and inventory for the beneficial invertebrates in the typical agricultural ecosystems of Red River delta and their prospects for use in Viet Nam (1995-1997).

·         The National Project to survey and inventory for the beneficial invertebrates and prospects for their use in the montane agricultural ecosystems in Hoa Binh Province (1999-2000).

·         The National Project ""Fauna and Flora of Viet Nam""(Code: §T§L 2003/06) supported by the Ministry of Science & Technology (2002-2005).

·         The National Fundamental Program for Natural Science (since 1996) There are currently over 300 scientific papers published. Research work of the Department focuses on parasitoid groups such as Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, and predator groups as Vespidae, Coccinelidae, Reduviidae, Carabidae and spiders Araneae.
