CURRICULUM VITAE —WAFAA HAGGAG
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am working at the National Research Center (NRC), where
multidisciplinary research and development take place. NRC is helping Egypt
through R&D program to overcome different problems including food and
environment related problem. Because of the need for reduced reliance on
chemical tools to manage pests in urban landscapes, there is an increasing need
for research which better integrates cultural and biological tools. My specific
research is conducted on:
1- Control of soilborne and foliar diseases of agricultural crops, all of which are important in Egypt and
some of which are important nationally and globally, and the development of integrated systems for
environmentally compatible and cost effective disease management.
2- Development and improvement of microorganisms for agriculture, industry, health and environment
applications .
3- A major component of my interest in biological control, understanding
how to quantify non-target risks and to plan introductions of biological control
agents to have minimal impact on indigenous species, yet maximal impact upon
pathogens populations by:
Enhancement of biocontrol efficacy of antagonistic microorganisms
to soil and foliar diseases in crops;
molecular biology and metabolic profiling of antagonist strains
functional impact of genetically modified microorganisms;
Improve production and formulation technology and development
of agricultural waste into a delivery system for biological control
use of safe chemicals as anti-transparent, polyamines, antioxidants,
induce resistance, plant extract.
