Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Lawrence A. Lacey spends much of his time researching Biological pest control, Biotechnology, Integrated pest management, Pesticide and PEST analysis. His Biological pest control research integrates issues from Paecilomyces, Biopesticide, Homoptera and Whitefly. The concepts of his Biotechnology study are interwoven with issues in Bacillus thuringiensis and Agriculture.

His study in Integrated pest management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity, Entomophaga maimaiga and Oryctes. As a member of one scientific family, Lawrence A. Lacey mostly works in the field of Pesticide, focusing on Lawn and, on occasion, Mite control, Steinernema scapterisci, Invertebrate, Entomopathogenic nematode and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. His research integrates issues of Pest control and Agronomy in his study of PEST analysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Manual of techniques in insect pathology (817 citations)
  • Insect Pathogens as Biological Control Agents: Do They Have a Future? (606 citations)
  • Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (525 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Biological pest control, PEST analysis and Larva. Lawrence A. Lacey has included themes like Codling moth and Lepidoptera genitalia in his Horticulture study. His Biological pest control research includes themes of Nematode, Biotechnology and Integrated pest management.

His PEST analysis research incorporates elements of Pest control and Agronomy. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Pest control, Lawn, Weevil and Tephritidae is strongly linked to Pesticide. His Larva research focuses on Bacillus thuringiensis and how it connects with Biopesticide, Toxicology, Bioassay and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.44%)
  • Horticulture (38.52%)
  • Biological pest control (36.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2017)?

  • Horticulture (38.52%)
  • PEST analysis (27.05%)
  • Botany (43.44%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, PEST analysis, Botany, Biological pest control and Lepidoptera genitalia. His studies deal with areas such as Pome, Codling moth and Agronomy as well as PEST analysis. His studies link Pest control with Botany.

The Biological pest control study combines topics in areas such as Identification, Biotechnology and Integrated pest management. His Biotechnology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lawn, Steinernema scapterisci, Entomopathogenic nematode and Weevil. His Integrated pest management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pesticide resistance, Bacillus thuringiensis and Abamectin.

Between 2008 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (525 citations)
  • Entomopathogenic nematodes for control of insect pests above and below ground with comments on commercial production. (161 citations)
  • Entomopathogenic fungi (Hypocreales) for control of potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) in an area endemic for zebra chip disease of potato (54 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Lawrence A. Lacey focuses on Biological pest control, Pesticide, Biotechnology, Integrated pest management and Metarhizium anisopliae. His Pesticide study incorporates themes from Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema scapterisci, Lawn and Weevil. His work deals with themes such as Pesticide resistance, Bacillus thuringiensis, Entomopathogenic nematode and Pest control, which intersect with Biotechnology.

The Integrated pest management study combines topics in areas such as PEST analysis, Heterorhabditis and Abamectin. Horticulture and Botany are the main areas of his Metarhizium anisopliae studies. His work on Bassiana, Triozidae and Beauveria bassiana as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Hypocreales, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
