Research Interests

• The global release of industrial and agricultural chemicals has resulted in widespread environmental pollution. I am very interested to study the effects of these pollutants on the ecology and function of soil microbial communities using biochemical (PLFA) and molecular biology techniques. Additionally the implementation of analytical chemistry regarding the fate of these pollutants in the environment will also help us to understand their relation with microbial community.
• The isolation of microorganisms from the Cyprus environment and their implementation in favor of agriculture, industry and the environment. Mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen free living bacteria, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria are important microbial groups that have been recognized as plant growth promoting microorganisms.
• Microbial formulation and bioreactors (biofilters).

• Agricultural Economics
• Remote Sensing in Agriculture and Environment

• Development of nucleic acid based methods for the detection of Plant Pathogens
• Biological and Molecular Characterization of Plant Viruses, Viroids, Bacteria and Phytoplasmata
• Management of Plant diseases
• Production and maintenance of healthy plant propagating material (Grapevines, Citrus, Stonefruits, Olives)

• Pesticide residues on agricultural products
• Αntioxidants on agricultural products
• Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of essential oils in aromatic plants

• Sustainability of farming systems
• Agricultural and Production Economics.
• Use of new technologies in agriculture.
• Marketing of agricultural products.

• Plant protection/Entomology/Acarology
• Insecticide Toxicology and Resistance
• Integrated Pest Management
• Biological methods, techniques, products, and beneficial predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family for the control of insect and mite pests
