Overview

Maurice Moens is affiliated with Ghent University in Belgium and focuses on research within Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with specific work also spanning Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their research addresses key areas such as nematode management and characterization studies, entomopathogenic microorganisms in pest control, insect resistance and genetics, and insect pest control strategies.

Their recent published work includes a 2020 paper titled Biocontrol potential of indigenous entomopathogenic nematodes from Cameroon against scale insect pest Stictococcus vayssierei and tending ant Anoplolepis tenella published in the journal Biological Control. This study contributes to the understanding of sustainable pest control methods.
